Always a favourite stop for some pre-match refreshment for us Addicks en-route to the Valley for the footy! Normally two Nelson beers are always on, but two vacant pumps today which was unusual, but on later apparently.

The pub is found in Woolwich, Greater London, SE18 6NE.

A cracking old pub in Hare Street, near to the Woolwich Ferry. At one time a long-standing Good Beer Guide entry albeit with some gaps. Goes by both names of Rose's Free House and the Prince Albert. Rare to see a vivarium with a lizard (at one time lizards) always keeping its/their beady eyes on proceedings. Located at the Woolwich Ferry end of Hare Street - an area in 2016 full of boarded up retail units ripe for redevelopment. The bar counter sports 6 handpumps but never all in use at one time. Closed 29th October 2022 with future uncertain. Surprisingly reopened 9th November 2022 with new operator.

We have visited this pub 21 times, seen 53 different beers and tried 30 of them.
