The Signal Box is located upstairs in the station’s terrace at the Eastern end featuring a bar and dining space and an “outside bar” with seating. A pub has been mooted in this area for some time, indeed it was initially thought that Greene King had an option on the space, but now it is occupied by London's main brewer of cask beer. It occupies an L-shaped space that can be accessed by stairs, lift or escalator. There are three distinct areas, two of which offer table service. The outer terrace looks over the main concourse and faces the train indicator boards although a large pillar tends to obscure the view. There should also be a train indicator screen in the main bar while there is also a smaller bar in the dining space. All six cask beers were from Fuller's in the week of opening. Real ale range:- Dark Star Hophead; Fuller's Oliver's Island; Fuller's London Pride; Fuller's ESB; Two seasonal beers.

The L-shaped room has plenty of seating, two log fires and large windows on two sides giving it light and open feel during the day.

From the kitchen there is a good selection of interesting and unconventional food as well a selection of bar snacks. Sunday roasts include a vegan dish. At weekends booking a table is advisable to avoid disappointment. History - the pub is a well detailed landmark building within the street and is thought to date back to at least 1861 but re-built in its present form by the Royal Brewery (Brentford) in 1901 - possibly early Nowell Parr design. It is now within St Paul's Brentford Conservation Area designated on 28 February 1989.
