The best-documented pub
The George & Dragon
Address: 176 High Street, Yiewsley, West Drayton, UB7 7BE.
This is the easiest pub to verify in the area because it’s run by Greene King and has its own page on their site. Opening hours are 11am to 11pm Monday to Thursday and on Sundays. On Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until midnight.
It holds a 5 out of 5 food hygiene rating from Hillingdon Council. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the score is current. That is the top score in every category.
CAMRA describes it as a comfortable locals pub with good value food and drink. There are separate rooms for pool and darts. Sport appears on screen. Greene King IPA is the regular beer, while the listing also mentions parking and WiFi.
The building dates from the 1800s. It was once run by Wethereds of Marlow. If you want a dependable pint and a predictable visit, this is the safest pick.
The overlooked locals
The pubs below are genuine and open, but they have a much thinner online footprint. That is not a verdict on quality. As a result, you will need to check more yourself.
The Railway Arms
Address: 1 Station Road, West Drayton, UB7 7BT.
The Railway Arms sits on a raised mound near West Drayton station. It is a Grade II listed building, listed in 1974, while CAMRA dates it to around 1820. The ground floor has a loggia with slender iron columns, and the whole building sits above street level.
Inside there are two bars. One leans towards dining and displays local historical photographs. There is a function room, darts and sports television. CAMRA notes that it reopened in 2010 after a closure. Evening meals run until 8pm, but not every day.
Real ale is no longer served, although one unused handpump remains. The pub holds a 5 out of 5 hygiene rating. That inspection was in January 2022, so it is worth checking for a newer one.
De Burgh Arms
Address: High Street, Yiewsley, UB7 7DQ.
This is an independent pub near West Drayton station. It is a Grade II listed building with late 16th century origins. The listing describes a high-pitched tiled roof with three symmetrical gables, although it was remodelled around 1840.
CAMRA says it appeared in the 1953 film Genevieve. Inside there is a central bar with several distinct areas, while pool, a jukebox and fruit machines are also available. A function room sits in a separate building.
The pub has changed names recently. Pub records show it traded as the Crispy Dosa Lounge in 2016. It became the De Burgh Arms again in 2017. CAMRA says real ale is not currently available.
Cat & Fiddle
Address: 162 Rowan Road, West Drayton, UB7 7UF.
The Cat & Fiddle is a classic estate pub, built in the early 1960s. It traded as the Rowan Arms until around 2013. CAMRA calls it a friendly, welcoming locals pub that keeps many original features.
There is a front garden and a back garden. Sport shows on several screens. Pool and darts are available. A function room is on site. There is live music on Saturdays.
Because it usually serves one changing ale, often from Rebellion, it is one of the few pubs here with a rotating real ale. Expect a local crowd rather than a destination venue.
Six Bells
Address: 125 Station Road, West Drayton, UB7 7ND.
The Six Bells is also known as the Bells Inn. Pub records show it trading here since at least 1839. It appears on CAMRA’s list of West Drayton pubs. We could not find a food hygiene score, current opening hours or recent reviews.
For that reason, treat this one as a call-ahead pub. Check whether it still trades before you travel.
Hotel bars near West Drayton
The Crowne Plaza Heathrow on Stockley Road, UB7 9NA, has two bars. Orwell’s Bar serves cocktails and opens 24 hours for hotel guests. Dr O’Driscoll’s is an Irish pub serving British bar food. CAMRA lists it open from 6pm to 11pm on weekdays and Saturdays. However, it shuts on Sundays.
These are hotel bars rather than neighbourhood locals. They suit a layover or a business meeting better than a casual pint.
Pubs in West Drayton that have closed
Several well-known names no longer exist. Searches still turn up old listings for them, so it helps to know which ones to skip.
Blues Bar, at 5 Station Road, closed in February 2016. It closed permanently in 2017 and then came down for housing. It had previously traded as Stations and Engine.
The Brickmakers, at 1 Horton Bridge Road, closed in 2015. CAMRA records say it was demolished in 2023.
The King’s Head, at 29 The Green, traded for at least a century from the 1820s. The building is now residential.
Nearby pubs just outside West Drayton
CAMRA’s area list also names pubs in neighbouring villages. The Crown and the Five Bells are in Harmondsworth. The King William and the Plough are in Sipson. They sit a short drive away, but they are not in West Drayton itself.
Which pub suits which night
For a dependable meal and a quiet drink, the George & Dragon is the safest choice because it has the clearest records and a top hygiene score.
For history, the Railway Arms and the De Burgh Arms are the two to see. Both are Grade II listed, but neither is a destination for real ale at the moment.
For a local estate pub with live music and a rotating ale, try the Cat & Fiddle. For a traditional pub name with a long history, try the Six Bells, but confirm it is open first.
Getting to the pubs
Two of the pubs sit near West Drayton station. CAMRA places both the Railway Arms and the De Burgh Arms close to it. The Railway Arms is on Station Road, and so is the Six Bells.
West Drayton station has direct trains to London Paddington, so a pub night is easy from central London. The George & Dragon is on Yiewsley High Street, while the Cat & Fiddle is on Rowan Road, on a residential estate. Check the route before you travel.
Tips for choosing a pub here
For hygiene, search each pub on the Food Standards Agency ratings site. It shows the latest inspection date, so you can see how recent a score is.
Check opening hours before you go. Smaller locals often open late on weekdays. Some have closed or changed hands in recent years.
If food matters, ask what is served and when. The Railway Arms, for example, serves evening meals only until 8pm, and not every day.
If you want real ale, call ahead. Availability changes, as CAMRA’s own listings show that some of these pubs have dropped it.
