"Edgware's derelict Railway Hotel, which has been empty for two decades, could finally be restored at long last. Despite its outwardly Tudor appearance, the hotel, like most of Edgware, was only built in the 1930s, and sat next to what was Edgware's first railway station. That was a LNER station that opened in 1867, but closed to passengers in 1939 after the Northern line station was built nearby, and was finally demolished in the late 1960s."
"It seems that there was a hotel adjacent to the station, which was demolished in 1930 as part of a road widening project, and the current Railway Hotel was opened around May 1931 to replace it. The hotel closed in 2006 and has been empty ever since. Now, as part of a plan to redevelop some light industry land behind the hotel for housing, the developer plans to restore the hotel and use it as a community centre."
The Railway Hotel in Edgware has been empty since 2006 and could be restored and repurposed as a community centre. The building displays a Tudor appearance but was constructed in the 1930s and replaced an earlier station-adjacent hotel demolished in 1930. The original local LNER station opened in 1867, closed to passengers in 1939, and was demolished in the late 1960s. The proposed redevelopment would build housing on former light industrial land behind the hotel, deliver about 750 flats of varied sizes and tenures, and fund the hotel restoration. A public consultation is scheduled for 17th September, and reopening by 2031 is possible.
