EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the Railway Tavern, located at Custom House in London, E16, in the 1950s. The pub, a local institution, was a popular watering hole for the community during this era. The name "Railway Tavern" suggests a connection to the nearby docks and the transportation hub that was a significant part of London's industrial history. The building, owned by the Charrington and Company Limited, displays a classic pub design with large windows, ornate brickwork, and a prominent signboard. The pub's exterior is adorned with intricate details, including decorative tiles and ornate ironwork. The scene is completed by the presence of a few patrons, engrossed in conversation, outside the pub, adding to the lively and welcoming atmosphere. Sadly, this piece of London's history is no longer with us. As of July 2018, the Railway Tavern had been demolished and replaced by an Ibis hotel. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when pubs like the Railway Tavern were the heart and soul of their communities. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the changing landscape of London and the role that pubs play in shaping our neighborhoods and our lives.
