The Duke of Greenwich

It is with a heavy heart that I read about the Duke of Greenwich pub in the murky depths blog https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2025/09/16/greenwich-pub-for-rent-at-80000-after-landlord-couldnt-agree-new-terms/ )  that yesterday (21/9/25) the pub shut for the last time, due once again to a  greedy landlord who is demanding £80,000 per year in rent.

I went to the opening day off this pub, just when it first opened, after waiting some time for the Vanbrugh pub replacement.

I would frequently jump off of my train journey home and Maze Hill for a pint or two of their real ale, and craft beer selection, before continuing my journey to Charlton.  I was even at their beer festival just over two weeks ago.

This is a great shame as it was a great pub. Great beer and a great BBQ outside when the weather was nice.

The opening times were a bit of a puzzle.  Closed Mondays and Tuesdays  and did not open till 4pm on a Wednesday and Shutting at 9pm on a Sunday but despite this the locals and real ale enthusiasts loved the place.
