Greenwich pub reopens as part of community cooperative venture

A Greenwich pub has reopened under a new name and under new ownership after a difficult few years.

The Star and Garter had spent the best part of a year closed but is now up and running as The Star of Greenwich.

Located in the shadow of Greenwich’s power station on Old Woolwich Road, the pub has plans for a number of initiatives after reaching a fundraising target in recent months.

Co-working spaces have been suggested during the day to compliment the usual pub operations. Profits will be reinvested for community use.

I popped in enjoyed a warm welcome. It was great to see it busy and the future promises a great place that could offer much to the community.

An event to celebrate the marathon has been on today too. Go pay them a visit.

As a private renter living costs are very high and ads bring in relatively little to the site. I run it alone, and you can support me through Paypal with a one-off or monthly donation here

Another option is via Patreon with offers monthly payments by clicking here

Finally there's the Ko-fi option

Many thanks
