Tap on the Line, Richmond

I do like the design of this pub.They have a bar area and the extension seems to be for dining. Lots of glass and an attractive frontage. Seven handpump with Fullers range of beers and a lovely guest beer from Brodies. In the days of steam it would be nice to see the trains arrive through the big glass windows but tube trains - not so much fun.Still a good but pricey pub.

Has now reopened after a fairly major refurb and has been renamed as The Tap on The Line. Had a quick look in when emerging from the station and it is quite different from most other Fullers makeovers and now resembles more of a restaurant cum coffee shop than a pub. But didn't stop to try it so will leave it up to others to report how it now works as a pub

For a 'station' pub it ain't half bad - well worth falling out of the train and falling in here. Friendly staff and well kept beer but, like the man said, you wouldn't want to have a session here as there's better pubs down the road. Average.

I enjoyed having a drink in here sitting by the huge glass windows that back onto the platform and watching the people waiting for a train look longingly at my pint. The music was at a nice level and there was a television showing Sky on the wall. There is plenty of covered seating outside the front of the pub where you can sit and watch the well heeled local residents milling past. The barmaid was a little offish as she was having a heated debate with the other barmaid in some distant tongue, which was a shame as I am quite nosy. Drinks on offer were the usual suspects plus Broadside, Lancaster Bomber and Hobgoblin. I've been to a lot worse station pubs than this one, but if I lived local I probably wouldn't drink here as there are better offerings in the area.
