The Ashburnham Arms, Greenwich

This pub has been my local for the last 4 years. At first it can seem either very quiet or somewhat overrun by locals depending on what time you go, but persevere and there is a real gem here. The landlord and staff are friendly, and the regulars are too if you give them time, the food can be amazing, and the real ale is brilliant. For those who state this place is unwelcoming, I must disagree... all are welcome in this pub, even those much maligned pub minorities: children and dogs! Compared to the other scruffy local pubs, and tourist bars, this place has a real charm to it.

Summer evenings in the garden out back, and winter nights on comfy sofas by the fire. What more could you ask for?
