JD Wetherspoon own nearly 1000 pubs but it has been reported that it has appointed Savills and CBRE to sell 33 pubs including Putney's Railway on the Upper Richmond Road.
The pub is on the site of the former Railway Hotel opposite the station and was built in 1886. It is popular with commuters partly because of the relatively low beer prices it offers.
According to the prospectus the agents believe that the properties will: "Appeal to existing operators looking to expand, to
new entrants looking for a major platform which can be used to
build a successful managed house estate and to investors keen to
gain further representation in the sector."
At the beginning of the year The Railway had to evict unwelcome guests - mice.
