According to the plans the pub will be very near where the new Charlton pier goes once the riverside development gets underway.
Don't hold your breath for a Charlton pier. The proposed site is too near to a working pier also the wash from the clippers is causing problems to the shoreline.
The issue is it strikes me as a very much 1 drink pub aside from when Charlton play. We tend to drink at the abbey arms now and then train it down.
me and my Boy take in the Abbey too - perfect for the train
Years ago (1980 ish ??) my mates Nan used to play the piano in the Anchor - we had a right laugh watching her! You don't see that now do you!! (Like Mrs Mills if you are old enough)
Used to drink in there in the late 70s/early 80s. The owner of The Antigallican and the Prince of Orange by Greenwich Station, Les Burnett, bought it and done it up. He and his missus, Nora, moved in to the apartment on the upper floors - very swish it was. Richie (still a good mate), who ran the Anti as Les' business partner,moved down to run it and it was a great pub back then. Richie had a bust up with Les and left and I haven't been in there for over 40 years. Makes me feel very old!

I wonder if the stars have aligned for Jamie recently of Sydenham's Fox and Hounds and further back of the Anchor & Hope's pizza shack to give it a go
