Greenwich Union

Forget the observatory or the market — this pub is the best reason to make the eastward trip to Greenwich. Located in the heart of the village, the red-brick Union beckons to thirsty travelers with old-fashioned charm and the cheery sound of folks swapping tales. Inside, you'll find a classic English pub scene: stone floors, wood-paneled walls, and a crowd around the bar. Union serves brews from the Meantime Brewery, and selections range from those infused with chocolate or raspberry to more classic blondes. TUBE: Greenwich, via Docklands Light Railway
