Cracking "proper boozer", an antidote to the Greenwich Union and a reminder to the Richard I of how a pub should really be. Good place to watch football, too.

Great great pub!
Far superior to the Richard or the Union.
Fun, eclectit duke box, layed back, tradtitional, nice bar staff, great old pub decor.
Its pretty much my local even though I live no where near it!
Have many, many good memories of evenings in this place.

Probably my favourite pub of the Union/Richard/Albert triumvirate. Better selection of beer than the "Young's" (ruined by Charles Wells), and sugared-up toddlers than The Union, it also has a great dart board location, and is much bigger than expected from the outside. Will stop in here more often when wandering home from Greenwich.

Had a couple pint after closing at the Tolley the other night. London Pride was in good nick. As ever friendly enough. Slightly more local than the other pubs off Royal Hill, but that’s no bad thing. Good pub to watch the footie in.

I really enjoy paying a visit to this pub, usually to watch the football it has to be said.
Staff are friendly, beer is good and it always seems to have the same people in there whenever I go in who all know each other which makes for a friendly atmosphere.

Has a certain charm about this place - personally, I enjoy starting here. Pool tables and good beer on draught. The only problem I fin is there does seem to be a spillover from the union, kids who look like rabbits in the headlights as they finally enter a "real" pub.

Being far enough away from tourist Greenwich to still have a "locals" feel to it. We occasionally use the pub for darts evenings and have always been made to feel welcome. The interior reveals a U shaped bar and is fairly spacious but not cavernous enough to lose its cosy appeal. The decor is fairly basic and the carpet well worn but there is little here to for anyone to take any major disliking to. There are also some unusual collectables on the walls. Decent ales including adnams new Explorer. Well worth a visit in conjunction with Top 40 regular the Richard I a few doors down.

This is a great pub. A complete contrast to the Greenwich Union next door, in style at least. (which is also a great pub) This place has that olde worlde feel about it. A dartboard, that you can actually use. Pool tables tucked away in the back, out of sight of the bar area. Great range of beers. Decent non posey crowd, Cheerful, and efficient staff. Great for when you're fed up of all the trendy stuff in Greenwich, and just want a pint. I highly recommend this place.

An overlooked gem. Traditional unspoilt friendly local offering real ale and selection of other beers and wine. Home made pub food 12-3pm Mon to Fri.
