The Gipsy Moth

Walk down Greenwich Church Street on a Friday night and you'll spot The Gipsy Moth doing exactly what a good local pub should: packed with people who know each other's names. The inside's got that wood-panelled, nautical charm without trying too hard—brass fittings, creaky floorboards, the works—and if you bag a window seat, you've got views straight across towards the Thames. The drinks list leans traditional (proper ales, decent wines by the glass), the food's solid rather than flashy, and the whole thing runs with the kind of easy confidence that comes from doing one thing really well for ages. It's where locals come when they want to feel like locals.
