Early Friday evening and the pub is very busy. Just a short visit for me and a couple of halves of festival beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - English Red Ale | 4.50 | | A fruity red ale. Hops not as prominent as tasting notes suggest, but quite pleasant. |
| Wadworth - Crimson Dawn | 4.50 | | Reddish-brown in colour. Heavy, sweet malt. |

The pub is found in Woolwich, Greater London, SE18 6PQ.
Large, corner plot Wetherspoon's. Stone's throw from Woolwich Arsenal Bus/Mainline Railway/DLR terminus by walking across the paved and grassed General Gordon Square into Wellington Street. Woolwich first came to prominence in the early 16th century, when King Henry VIII established a dockyard here to build the Great Harry, the flagship of his new navy. This yard, where many famous ships were built, including the Sovereign of the Seas (in 1637), saw many royal visits and departures of voyages of exploration. Seriously damaged by fire in the early August 2011 riots and closed for the rest of the year and into 2012. A race was on to renovate and re-open by time of the 2012 Olympics as Woolwich was a venue for shooting events. The deadline was met and a new look and brighter and more shiny Great Harry arose. 10 handpumps, in 2 banks each of 5, adorn the bar counter which extends across almost all the width of the pub.
We have visited this pub 70 times, seen 152 different beers and tried 70 of them.
