Earlier in the week I promised a list of those places where you could go to cheer on or chill out during the London Marathon this Sunday in Greenwich, I wanted to divide those that would be in the heart of the action where the runners and the spectators would be from those that were in a slightly quieter locale. Apologies for this being a slightly later post than planned, it is of course the big day tomorrow but a rather big night in Cafe Brera ensured on Friday night. We visited the Canary Riverside branch which overlooks the Thames at Canary Wharf for a work function and supped on their fantastic antipasti, pizza and red wine (a little bit too much of the red wine!).
Anyway if you are after a place in the middle of the action I would suggest the following pubs Greenwich Tavern, The Kings Arms, Admiral Hardy, Spanish Galleon, The Gypsy Moth
If you want to watch some of the race but then retreat to a slightly quieter haven try the following Richard the First, Greenwich Union, The Prince of Greenwich, all three of them are on Royal Hill in Greenwich and although will be busy they shouldnt be overrun. Also try The Guildford Arms.
Others to try that are close to the race course but not directly on it are The Yacht, The Trafalgar Tavern and of course the Cutty Sark Tavern we reviewed their Sunday Lunch last week here. Also try the Rose and Crown.
Theres obviously lots more pubs in Greenwich but these off the top of my head were the ones that came to mind that would cater for those that wanted to be in the center of things and those that wanted to see the race but then retire to somewhere a bit quieter.
As for me I think our Greenwich Sunday Lunch venue will be chosen at the last minute probably depending on crowds etc......roll on the race!!!
