About the Business

Built as part of Brunel's historic Railway Village, from the Bath stone extracted from Box Hill to create the Box Tunnel, The Glue Pots corner shop appearance betrays its original use, as a Wool & Linen Drapery, prior to its conversion to a public house, The London Stout House, in the early 1850's. The Glue Pot name comes from the GWR Coach-builders who would bring their glue pots with them to the pub to keep the glue runny by leaving them of the pot bellied stove (long since removed) to keep warm. Many of their glue pots remain uncollected to this day!

Established in 1851.

The pub gets its name from the railway coach-builders who would bring their gluepots with them when they took their breaks and would place their pots on the central stove to keep them hot; unfortunately, health and safety has put paid to the stove.
