The Greenwich Pensioner

You'll find yourself on Bazely Street in one of those pockets of East London that still feels genuinely residential, away from the glass towers. The Greenwich Pensioner is the kind of pub where you can actually hear yourself talk, with a decent selection of cask ales and the sort of food that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier than it needs to be. It's got that comfortable, well-worn feeling of a place that's been doing its thing for years without feeling the need to reinvent itself every five minutes. The sort of spot where you'd pop in for a pint after work and somehow still be there two hours later.
