The Earl of Chatham 🍻
15 Thomas St, #Woolwich #London #SE18
A traditional family-run tavern serving pub grub providing sports TV screens. A lovely building that I hope lasts unlike so many others in the area.

The Greyhound 🍻
254 #Woolwich Church St, #London #SE18
This is a unique council estate pub with an entrance which almost resembles one of the shops. Council Estate planning schemes included Pubs & this one seems to be camouflaged into the estate itself.

The Graving Dock Tavern #RIP
North #Woolwich Road, #Silvertown, #london, #S16 This pub was built on the site of an original Victorian public house around 1960. Now one wouldn't even know one was in England, never mind the docklands.

I'm sad to announce that the Ordnance (#Arsenal) pub in #Woolwich, #London, #SE18, has been closed with a repossession notice attached outside. The pub was certainly rough around the edges, but it served an important purpose. The area has heavily declined post its modernization.

#RIP Ordnance Arms ⚰️
The pub is one of the last recognisable traits of the region. It had its name changed to "O'Connors" some time before February 2007, but it changed back to the "Ordnance Arms" again in May 2016. The pub sits opposite the old 'Royal #ArtilleryBarracks in #Woolwich', which is now a modernistic estate. One surviving pub in the artillery zone is the 'Dial Arch' (Riverside, The Warren, No 1 St, Royal #Arsenal, #London). We coveted it in the past as it was the founding spot of @Arsenal football club.
The Ordnance served many football fans and locals alike, we will keep an eye on it and hope for the best.
