The pub is found in Greenwich, Greater London, SE10 9RB.

Located in the very heart of central Greenwich in Creek Road. It is effectively part of the Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich Docklands Light Railway Station complex. This Wetherspoon pub takes its name from the clock fixed to the gate of the Greenwich Observatory in 1851, which is known throughout the world for telling Greenwich Mean Time. 12 handpumps in 2 banks, each of 6 downstairs, and 5 more in the upstairs bar which has more limited opening hours.

We have visited this pub 233 times, seen 293 different beers and tried 101 of them.
