Let us set the scene. Greenwich does not really do quiet. Come summer it positively hums, and staying with us puts you a short stroll from all of it.
Start with the obvious. The Cutty Sark sits just minutes from your room, the last of the great tea clippers and one of the most photographed ships in the world. Wander the cobbles of Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you are walking through centuries of seafaring history without even trying.
Hungry? You are spoilt. Greenwich Market is one of London's finest, a covered maze of independent traders, street food from every corner of the globe and the kind of weekend browsing that turns into a whole afternoon. Roll out of bed, follow the smell of fresh coffee and you are there. Of course the Admiral Hardy has some of thebest pub food in the area and a Sunday lunch well worth booking for!
For the big skies and the big views, climb up through Greenwich Park to the Royal Observatory. Stand with one foot in the east and one in the west on the Prime Meridian, set your watch to Greenwich Mean Time at the source, then flop onto the grass and watch the city shimmer below. On a clear summer evening there is no better spot in London.
And when the night calls, the River Thames is your highway. Hop a Uber Boat by Thames Clipper from Greenwich Pier and you are gliding past Canary Wharf in minutes, or pointing straight at The O2 for a gig and a wander up the dome itself. Heading that way? Our sister venue The Oystercatcher sits right on Greenwich Peninsula, a stone's throw from The O2, and it is the spot for food and drink before the show or a relaxed bite after. Same group, same warm welcome. Whatever is on this summer, you are perfectly placed for it.
Then, when the day is done, you come home to us. No long trek back across town. No last train panic. Just up the stairs and into bed.
The rooms
Our rooms sit above the pub, which means you get the best of both worlds. Warm, characterful and properly comfortable, with the buzz of a great British local just below and a peaceful night's sleep above it.
7 individually styled rooms, each with en suite bathroom, smart TV, free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee. Wake up, throw open the curtains and you are already exactly where you want to be.
Food and drink, right beneath your feet
Here is the beauty of staying above The Admiral Hardy. You are never more than a staircase away from a proper feed and a well kept pint. Our kitchen serves up [insert food offering, for example hearty pub classics, Sunday roasts, seasonal sharing plates and the bar pours and array of beers and local ales, a tidy wine list, proper cocktails, all in a room with real character and a genuine local buzz.
Settle in for a lazy lunch, come back for dinner and round the night off with a nightcap. No coats, no cabs, no excuses. It is honestly one of the great joys of staying with us.
ringing the dog? Good
Here is the bit four legged travellers will love. We are proudly dog friendly, so there is no need to leave your best mate behind or fork out for boarding while you are away.
Greenwich is made for dogs. Greenwich Park is one of the great London green spaces for a morning run around, the riverside walks go on for miles and plenty of our neighbours welcome a waggy tail too. Your pup can stretch their legs all day and then curl up in the room with you at night.
There is a small charge per stay for your four legged friend, so just let us know when you book so we can roll out the welcome mat, and the water bowl.
Book direct for the best rate, every time
Now the most important part. When you book your room straight through us, you get the **best rate available, guaranteed**. No middle man. No inflated booking site fees skimming off the top. Just the best price, direct from the people who actually run the place.
Better still, book direct and we will put a drink on the house behind the bar for you. Arrive, drop your bags, come down and the first round is on us. Consider it our way of saying welcome.
Book direct and you also get a direct line to us. Want a quiet room? Travelling with the dog? Arriving late after a show at The O2? Tell us and we will sort it. Try getting that level of care from a faceless third party app.
The maths is simple. Same room, better price, a free drink, friendlier service, all by booking with us first.
Summer rooms go fast, so do not hang about
Greenwich in summer is no secret, and our rooms are limited. Weekends in particular get snapped up quickly once the sun arrives and the events calendar fills out.
So do future you a favour. Lock in your dates, claim that best direct rate while it is there, and get ready for a Greenwich summer done properly. Great location, comfy room, dog by your side, a drink on the house and the best price in town.
