Prince Albert (Rose's), Woolwich  

Woolwich is changing fast with wrecking balls aloft and the DLR imminent. Pubs here are changing too. However, after a period of closure and reopening under new management, Rose's hasn't changed much. The interior seems, well, cleaner but then smoking was banned whilst Rose's was dormant. A panoramic mural of the local Thames view has appeared, the pin-table has gone and the fine jukebox (Edgar Winter or Lindisfarne... hmm) has gone too, replaced by a digital descendant. Woolwich has not known decent drinking establishments for some years - the whole area has been under a cloud for a while. Rose's (confusingly also known as the Prince Albert) has always offered hope on the pub front, though; decent booze (three guest ales) helps. It's an old-school boozer that won't change its ways: further from the Boden-clad pinot noir matriarchs of, say, Battersea, it'd be hard to find. If that appeals, give it a try.
