“This Victorian-styled inn, a unique find near Canary Wharf, distinguishes itself with a lively pub atmosphere and some seriously delicious stone-baked pizzas; I'd visit again just for the Diavolo. Its reasonable price point and free weekend parking, combined with the area's easy access to the Thames and historic Greenwich, make it a smart choice. It's a cozy spot that feels far removed from London's chain hotels.”

great stay near greenwich!

friendly check-indecent sizeuseful sinkcomfortable night
i loved the friendly check-in at the bar. the room was a decent size and provided all necessary facilities. i found the sink in the room quite useful for brushing my teeth before bed. also, the shared bathroom offered everything needed for a comfortable night, with a toilet, sink, and a separate, larger space with a toilet, sink, and bath and shower. wi-fi signal was great.
the carpet was dated, with various stains. but still a great stay!

The bedroom offered space and a large bed. Sheets and doona cover were of good quality. Staff at the pub were friendly and their pizzas tasted good and reasonably priced. I walked through the tunnel under the river to Greenwich. I saved money because this place is cheaper.
The room carpet looked outdated. There were some stains on it. I also noticed what looked like burn marks.
