Despite declining profits, Wetherspoons is continuing its conquest to open even more pubs the UK (and even one in Europe). Now ‘Spoons has announced its opening a new watering hole at Paddington Station. There’s nothing more British than downing a few pints of lager in a railside boozer.
The proposed new pub would span 3,600 square-feet across two floors, including a mezzanine in the station’s former ticket hall with direct access to the Bakerloo line. If approved, it would be bigger than the recently opened Captain Flinders Wetherspoons at Euston and slightly smaller than The Lion and The Unicorn at Waterloo.
The new spot, which is rumoured to be called The Post Room, would be the second new Wetherspoons in Paddington following the recent opening of The Sir Alexander Fleming in Merchant Square. The pub chain is currently seeking feedback from local residents and businesses ahead of submitting a formal planning application to Westminster City Council.
’Spoons appears to be targeting transport hubs and has recently opened pubs at London Bridge station and the former Fulham Broadway ticket hall. Another outpost in a central London station – this time Charing Cross – was also confirmed earlier this month, tipped to open some time in 2026.
