The Trafalgar Tavern is a Georgian landmark and local institution. Not much has changed over the years; it’s a community-focused pub that’s also very popular with tourists, mainly for views over the river from its floor-to-ceiling Regency windows. Guests have been enjoying whitebait fresh from the Thames for hundreds of years, and you still can, washed down with a local pint. Inside, you’ll find plenty of naval and maritime relics, plus wooden floorboards and gorgeous high ceilings.

5. Zaibatsu

Restaurant, Japanese, Sushi

You’d be forgiven for missing Zaibatsu when walking along Trafalgar Road, but at this unassuming takeaway restaurant, the food is anything but unremarkable. There’s a sizeable menu of Asian fusion dishes, including sushi, finely cut sashimi, crisp salads, noodles and sizzling tempura. Particularly recommended is the omakase sashimi selection, a seven-piece assortment of sashimi made with the freshest fish from the day’s catch and served as tender slices alongside a soya dip.

6. Champagne + Fromage

Bistro, Restaurant, French

As you’d expect, the name of the game at this quaint French spot is wine and cheese. One of three London branches, the Champagne + Fromage in Greenwich sits just outside the neighbourhood’s namesake market and offers a delicious selection of charcuterie, bubbles and French delicacies.
