British Railway stations and beer, two things that really don't go together. A station buffet and couple of cans of Euro Lager and Strongbow and usually that's you lot, if you are lucky. However in recent years a change has occurred. Stations like Newcastle and Sheffield now have dedicated real ale bars and even the small station in Hartlepool has it's own dedicated tap, even though it doesn't have a bar. As I'm down south here are two of the better outlets in London.
OK, so it may be small but it has Brewdog, free Wifi and clean toilets, so what more could you want. Actually it's like a little of sanity in a sea of crazed travelers. Not cheap, a pint of 5 AM Saint is £5.60 but you are on the station concourse. Waiting for your train, pop in and have a look.
Along on the Tube - Kings Cross
Kings Cross, now renovated is a lot better than it used to be. Although apart from the Harry Potter platform whatever, unless you were catching a train, you wouldn't want to go there. Now there is reason to go there, courtesy of the London brewer Fullers. On the St Pancras side is the The Parcel Yard, an olde worlde (but not in a bad way) station pub.
A full bar of hand pumps with Fullers range of excellent ales on. There are guest ales too. Lots of different rooms to drink in, good quality food and free Cloud Wifi. It also has arrivals and departure screens, which is handy. Another worth a visit.
