I remember this pub . . We were filming just down the road and myself, my wife & Eddie spent the evening having a beer. Now as far as I can recall the owners had not been in there long but the landlady and landlord were fantastic and even gave me a lift so that I could get some more money out so that we could stay and have a few more beers! Surfice to say I was a little groggy in the morning and setting up for a days filming the next day was a hard task. All I can say is a big thank you for making us welcome, hope it is going well for you both and if im every in the area again I will be sure to drop in. Best regards...

Tucked away off the main Shooters Hill Road, the Eagle is very much a local�s pub that from the previous reviews seems to have had its fair share of ups and downs. The frontage has plenty of window space letting making the open interior quite light. The bar is centrally positioned with a public bar area to the left with a rather prominent pool table, dart board and plasma screen. In one corner is a small menagerie containing a mischievous parrott and a couple of snakes firmly contained in glass tanks. To the other side of the bar is a saloon bar area for want of a better description although the fairly plain pub by numbers d�cor and furnishings are virtually the same throughout the pub. There is a small dais, presumably for live music albeit not much room for more than a duet. There is a slight maritime theme with shipping forecast areas and an obvious affiliation to the RNLI judging by the posters. One noticeable improvement since my last visit some 18 months ago is the presence of a Harvey�s ale (I don�t recall any ales on my previous visit) with the quality perfectly drinkable but not great. To the rear is a decked beer garden which at one time offered some fabulous views across London but these have now been partially curtailed by new building developments. We were afforded a decent welcome from the Millwall fan landlord (especially since I we were in Spurs gear and had just beaten West Ham) and overall I didn�t find anything particularly unsavoury about the pub although it was a quiet early evening. Overall, a pretty average, no thrills place and not much really somewhere I would go out of the way for but worth popping in if needs arise.

Transformation complete! Mick and Lisa have turned this pub around from the type of place you'd cross the road to avoid into a very welcoming pub.

Been in here a couple of times recently, last time new year's day at lunchtimes. It's now almost completely refurbed. The landlord was friendly enough and he seems to be making a real effort. They have themed evenings, live music etc. and do food.

OK, I was a bit wrong to say awful back in November, can I change my mind?? I meant a disgrace, the pub is in quite a nice road in South London and a little while back i noticed a To Let sign hanging above above but still in action, must have been a good weekend for the Belmarsh 4 as most of the windows had been put through and replaced with lovely chip board. Do us all a favour and close it for good. Im sure the neighbours really look forward to weekends.

AWFULL! under new managment a couple of years back was a promising sign as it had declined as a good old local's pub, however if you want to watch Sky though a snow storm or have a drink with someone who was just outta Belmarsh (alwight my sarn, what did ya call me? OUTSIDE NOW!) type of place then this is for you. Beers are ok but the whole place could do with a refurb.
