Because it's just that little bit far south of the [[Locale Dome|O2 Centre]], it manages to largely avoid the concert-going crowds, but it's certainly worth seeking out. |

Inside it serves the usual range of Fuller's ales, with six handpulls dispensing London Pride, ESB, Chiswick and Discovery. There is plenty of seating in two carpeted spaces on either side of the bar, with some large booths tucked up against the side wall, as well as more tables for dining up some stairs at the back of the pub. Service is friendly. |

Outdoors is an extensive beer garden, with a square lawn in the centre and tables around it, many of them with shelter. There are six or seven picnic-style tables out the front of the pub as well. |
The food is the usual pub grub. I had a vegetarian burger, which came in a white bun with some lovely crispy fries and was perfectly good, possibly a little better than the standard. |

Food is served noon-8:30pm Monday to Thursday, noon-9pm Friday and Saturday, and noon-5pm Sunday. The food is the usual pub grub. In June 2009, [[Ewan]]'s mushroom and spinach pasta was pretty tasty, not too oily, with a couple of nicely-toasted slices of garlic bread and a small leafy green salad, and on an earlier visit, the vegetarian burger came in a white bun with some lovely crispy fries and was perfectly good, possibly a little better than the standard. |

This pub, also simply known as "The Pilot", is an anomaly not far south of North Greenwich Station. It sits at the end of a perfectly-preserved early-19th century terrace comprising about 10 houses, completely surrounded by what is more or less undistinguished emptiness (mainly O2 Centre car parks, as well as the David Beckham Academy, and the very northern reaches of the Millennium Village developments). As such it is almost picturesque in its quaintness for this part of town.

What's best is its cosy atmosphere of a traditional pub, which from looking around is pretty much unique now on the Greenwich Peninsula.
Food is served noon-8:30pm Monday to Thursday, noon-9pm Friday and Saturday, and noon-5pm Sunday.
