The landlady of the pub is retiring and the pub will close in December - that much is certain. Also certain is that Greenwich Council have accepted that the pub is an asset of community value and cant be demolished in a hurry. The application is to demolish it and replace it with a 4/5 storey building comprising 8 flats and a ground floor bar (these bars sometimes have a habit of disappearing once permission has been given).
There may be opportunity to speak at the planning meeting deciding the future of the building so please keep an eye on

The current pub dates from 1930s and in the opinion of the Greenwich Conservation Group is a good example of an inter-war public house. The pub also offers a different, generally quieter, environment than the other nearby pubs in Greenwich town centre and is very community focused. It in particular attracts the local older generation and offers regular live jazz music, and a free pensioners Christmas meal and annual outing to the coast.

More from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. I was left to wander round for a few hours whilst my wife and daughters went to the Olympic Dressage event. Conditions were perfect so I took quite a few shots.....

I'm not entirely happy with the processing of this shot of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, the contrast range of the shot has proved challenging even for my Nikon D300s. I think I need to revisit the RAW file and have another go.
Even from outside the London 2012 Equestrian Venue at Greenwich Park the roar from the crowd as a Team GB rider completed a near perfect routine was quite amazing.
Blackheath Avenue - Greenwich Park.
Taken 1/5/16. I am way behind , look at it this way I'll have plenty of Summer photos to see through Winter with.

I've had a very rare week long absence from Flickr due to a family holiday in Greece at a hotel without internet. Sometimes it's good to go 'cold' turkey' just to prove you can do it.
Back to Greenwich and the Old Royal Naval College and the amazing (and appropriately named) Painted Hall.

Even outside the London 2012 Equestrian venue at Greenwich there was a real party atmosphere. Big screens, beer and plenty of sunshine may have helped somewhat, don't think it would've been quite the same in driving rain.
I was in London on Friday for the Dressage at Greenwich Park so I got to see Olympic fever at first hand. Normal looking people had painted their faces, put on wigs, costumes etc, this guy looked positively normal in comparison to some (well, he looked like one half of Gilbert and George anyway, right down to the awkward stiff pose).
I wasn't actually in the Arena, just on standby nearby in case as suspected I'd be needed to go and collect my three year old from my wife (well, it's not the most exciting event in my opinion.....). Of all the tickets we applied for it was the only event I'd elected to not spectate.
The last of the Old Royal Naval College shots for now though I'll definitely be heading back there sometime soon. Whether I'm lucky enough to get a sky as good as this one though is doubtful.

The Lord Hood, 300 Creek Road, Greenwich, SE10 9SW
Built in 1612 for Sir Adam Newton, Bishop of Durham and Tutor to the Royal Family, Charlton House in London, SE7, is considered to be one of the finest houses of the Jacobean era surviving in London. The house was bought by the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich (since 1965 part of the London Borough of Greenwich) and is today run as a Community Centre and a venue for business meetings and weddings/civil parnerships, with its extensive grounds open as a public park.
Like it or not (and some have been quite vocal...) but the Olympics branding has been a consistent and omnipresent part of the London 2012 games. Certainly the use of pink has been quite eye-catching.

Detail of the ornate gate at the entrance to the Old Royal Naval College at the Thameside entrance with the skyscrapers of Docklands in the background. Such contrasts are the kind of thing that makes cities like London so exciting for me.
Standard Consultation Expiry Date - now 2 September (was Tue 05 Aug) 2014 - submit your objections online today.
There is still time time to register objections to the planning application from the freeholder of the Old Loyal Britons in Greenwich to demolish the property and build a 6 storey block of flats with a restaurant on the ground floor.
Planning application reference is 14/1636/F
We are finalising a formal objection on behalf of the branch although you are able to submit objections/comments online on the Greenwich Council planning website.
Possible reasons for objection you may wish to include some of, in your own words (as a dozen identical objections could carry less weight):
It is a Victorian building of character and the only remaining historic property of note in the immediate vicinity
It is in the West Greenwich Conservation Area
The Council’s own conservation report comments that post-war development of council flats in the area is out of scale compared with the height of the nearby town centre buildings and is of no special distinction. There is therefore no reason now to make a bad situation worse, and even more reason to preserve what little history is left!
The appearance of the building has been improved under the current tenant – the photos submitted with the application pre-date this
The applicant tries to justify demolition due to the building being of significantly lower height than neighbouring properties – this is insufficient grounds to bulldoze it.
The applicant also claims that their plans are in scale with plans of the owner of the property to the rear to redevelop it as a taller building of flats – however there is no trace online of a planning application for this and so it may never happen
Applicant does not demonstrate sufficiently that the current pub operation is not viable. conversely the tenant has built up a successful venue that offers something that most of the other Greenwich town centre pubs do not – a convivial atmosphere without constant music. tv, and serving consistently good and reasonably priced beers sourced mainly from local London breweries.

Not the most interesting or dramatic photo I took in Greenwich that day but I do like to look out for little details like these even if I don't always upload them to flickr. If you're ever in the area, Greenwich Park is surrounded by very impressive Georgian houses and is well worth a wander.

Every Monday and Friday 1 pm til 3.30 pm the Charles Morris Jazzmen play at the Lord Hood - for that New Orleans sound.
Overheard in the pub "yes its closing in December, there's not many places left for us old un's".
But it's not all older people - why not come to the Halloween disco? The real ale is always Gipsy Hill, there's food, there's fun, it's a real pub.
