picture of Watermans Arms
Despite the relentless move upmarket as the City spreads eastwards, there are still a few old boozers left in these parts and the Waterman's Arms is one of the best of them. Solid in all departments, its a popular one with both locals and any visitors who've stumbled across it whilst looking for that famous view of Greenwich. It's a rangy old place, made famous by a previous Landlord - Dan Farson and whilst there's a fair size restaurant section at the side don't expect gastro fare. Oh, they use an old style "London Fives" dartboard (just in case you've got your arrows handy). Well kept beers, Irish malts and a pool table are some of the other features. Add on the mandatory "solid gold 60s" compilation airing from the CD player, a curry house in the room next to the bar and a huge beer garden and you have a steady three pinter.

I fear the worst, the Watermans is currently 'closed until further notice'... another excellent boozer bites the dust. watch this space for the flats that replace it..

I lived at this pub for two years. A splendid place populated by splendid people. Very friendly atmosphere all conducive to having a few pints and a very good Indian meal.
