The River Ale House: Have you been to Charlton's new local ...

Okay, it’s actually in Greenwich, but we couldn’t resist giving a mention to The River Ale House, which opened a couple of weeks ago just down the Woolwich Road.

So far, The River Ale House is doing a good trade in the evenings – providing somewhere to go in a stretch of Woolwich Road that’s long lacked a decent pub.

It’s the eighth micropub to open in south-east London over the past few years, joining The Long Pond in Eltham, Door Hinge in Welling, Hopper’s Hut and Hackney Carriage in Sidcup, Broken Drum in Blacken, Penny Farthing in Crayford and One Inn The Wood in Petts Wood.

If the River Ale House gives you a taste for the smaller boozer, here’s a micropub crawl of south-east London that’s been tried and tested by the Charlton Champion team.

The River Ale House is at 131 Woolwich Road SE10 0RJ and is open 12noon to 11pm every day.

Beer in the Afternoon – Deserter

At 12.06 The River Ale House opened its doors for the first time.

Trevor told him that the pub is housed in the old lingerie shop and that he had been the proprietor of that too.

‘Pint of Dukeries, ta,’ said Half-life, from the other side of the room.

Given The River Ale House’s proximity to The Pelton Arms, Cutty Sark, Hardy’s Freehouse, the Plume, the Vanny and The Crown, this was a small miracle.

London's Best Micropubs

Many of the newer ones also feature wines, while the River Ale House has a range of gins too, along with craft beer in bottles and cans.

There’s also been help from other micropubs, who have provided ideas and the benefit of their experiences which have helped with designing the River Ale House.

The Eltham micropub that inspired The River Ale House, this is the Campaign for Real Ale’s South East London Pub of the Year.

The Owl and the Pussycat, 106 Northfield Avenue, W13 9RT A little different to other micropubs, The Beer Shop has music, keg beers, Bloody Marys, and regular food pop-ups, all housed in a former wool retailer.

Real ales, craft beer, wines, gins and cheese help make this friendly bar worth a trip out on the Metropolitan Line.
