It was Greenwich’s least-loved pub, but last orders is finally being called on The Old Friends…
The sign, as The Greenwich Phantom reports, is being saved, but it looks like a sad end for what’s a lovely old building, even if it was a horrible pub.
Meanwhile, at the other end of Greenwich, I popped into the Spanish Galleon Tavern to grab a look at the second half of Real Madrid v Barcelona, with my usual football-watching venues being out of action and my the Kings Arms deciding to show BBC1 in silence on its big screen. The price of a pint of Guinness? £3.55. I don’t think I’ll be back in a hurry…
Galleon’s still top of my list of most expensive pubs in Greenwich to visit – even the bitter’s pushing 3 quid!
