The Railway Tavern

You're right on the edge of the City here, just off Liverpool Street station, and The Railway Tavern feels exactly like what it is—a place where people actually want to be, not somewhere tourists stumble into by accident. It's got that comfortable pub energy where you can grab a quick pint after work or settle in for a proper meal without anyone making a fuss about it. The food's straightforward and honest (think pies, burgers, that sort of thing), pitched at the crowd coming off the trains or ducking out of nearby offices.
