The Plume of Feathers, Greenwich, SE10

Reputedly the oldest pub in Greenwich it’s a very nice pub, a bit food led but the beer is very good and the pub is in the GBG 2027. The square servery is immediately ahead on entering with two pulls on the front face and two more on the left hand face. A rare London find and a regular beer is Wye Valley Butty Bach, also on Sussex Best, Ghost Ship and a beer from The Craft Beer Man. Traditional decor and furnishings, lots of photos and pictures. It goes back a bit further than the front suggests. The best of the pubs I tried in Greenwich.

Friendly back-streets pub without pretensions, sufficiently far from the centre of Greenwich with its crowds and perma-congestion to maintain a peaceful vibe. At this time of year, it was hosting at least two Christmas lunch parties, but there were a few seats left for us drinkers. Ale choice was Harvey's Sussex and Old (good to see it outside of the tied estate), as well as Wantsum's Montgomery, an American Pale ale. The beer was in good nick and I particularly liked the music map in the gents. Almost certainly your best bet for a pint in Greenwich.

One of the easiest on the eye pubs in this part of town, hidden away somewhat on a backstreet, it didn't stop plenty of people finding it, a mix of young familys, older locals and a sprinkling of tourists. Very traditional with a U shaped interior, a more formal area to the rear and a garden beyond that. Beers were Sussex Best, Knight Of The Garter and Wantsum Black Pig. One of the top two or three pubs in this bit of London.
