Many of Greenwich's pubs have been bought and revamped by the American-owned Greenwich Inc (http://www.greenwichinc.com) group, a source of concern to some locals who miss the old venues, and they have built up a reputation for poor service. But commercially, they are very successful in attracting tourists.
Babas Cafe
One of oldest cafes in Greenwich great for a value for money breakfast or lunch serving traditional English dishes, Babas is renowed for a massive choice of freshly made sandwichesâa firm favourite with locals and tourists.
The Cutty Sark
Great pub. Best time to go is on a warm summers evening when you can sit out by the river and watch the sunset in the west. Can get pretty busy though!
The Greenwich Union on Royal Hill
Owned by the Meantime Brewery, based in nearby Charlton, which stocks its own range of beer in a variety of styles.
The Plume of Feathers
A quaint little watering-hole, nearly on the prime meridian, with a variety of guest ales tucked away from the run-of-the mill riff-raff in Greenwich town centre. Excellent food at reasonable prices, try the delicious mixed platter for 4 to get the taste buds going!
Richard I
Owned by Young's, which sells its real ales.
The Trafalgar Tavern
Greenwich Inc-owned. Beautiful but overcrowded. The bar is over bright and sitting outside has become less pleasant since they lined loads of benches up along the river path. Service can also be brusque.
