The history of Greenwich is inseparable from its maritime history and
royal palace. In later years, industries also built up along the River
Thames frontage, including the massive power station that powered
London's tram and underground systems and today the old industrial area
on the peninsula in East Greenwich is home to the O2 dome. Greenwich's
pubs reflect the town's history, from the Georgian Cutty Sark and
Trafalgar Tavern on the river, to pubs serving the market, cinemagoers,
residents and is the home of the Meantime Brewery which acknowledges the
meridian timeline centred on Greenwich. In Greenwich Pubs, author David
C. Ramzan takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the area's
watering holes, many of which have retained features and traditions of
previous ages. Brimming with quirky tales and fascinating facts, this
carefully crafted guide initiates readers into the fascinating history
of Greenwich's pubs.
