Coach and Horses, Greenwich

You're in Greenwich Market on a Saturday afternoon, and the Coach and Horses is exactly where you want to be. There's nothing fancy about this place—it's all dark wood, brass fixtures, and the kind of worn-in comfort that comes from decades of being genuinely local. The pub sits right in the heart of the market action, so you can watch the world go by from your pint, or grab a table inside and properly settle in. The food is straightforward British boozer stuff done properly: expect pies, proper ales, and enough character in the room that you'll actually want to chat to whoever's next to you at the bar.
