About us

just a stone's throw from the Millennium Dome. With the pub close to the O2 Arena, it's great for a fresh meal or a fine pint before a gig.

Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in an up-and-coming area of south London, The Pilot pub was originally built to service local coal workers – but although the building is over 200 years old, we’re proud to mix a classic, cosy interior with modern hospitality.

Uniquely accessible by boat, London Underground and cable car, and under 20 minutes’ drive from London City Airport, The Pilot offers stunning views of Canary Wharf and fabulous boutique accommodation, making it the ideal base for a city break.

As well as enjoying everything a classic British pub has to offer, from The Pilot you can easily reach central London, Canary Wharf’s shopping malls, Greenwich Park and the Old Royal Naval College. History lovers can also enjoy the National Maritime Museum and quirky Fan Museum, both of which are close by.

Eating and drinking

The Pilot’s open-plan kitchen creates a blend of seasonal modern dishes and pub favourites, from bar snacks to hearty sandwiches. Our Sunday menu offers a range of roasts with all the trimmings, and we’ve got a children’s menu suitable for little hands. If you’re looking for something a bit different, you might like to try one of our delicious daily chef’s specials.

Head to the bar and you’ll find fantastic choice there too, from beers on tap (including the much-loved London Pride), to our extensive wine list, which features over 50 carefully chosen bottles. Our premium spirits and mixers and range of soft drinks mean there’s something at The Pilot for everyone to enjoy.

Stay at The Pilot

If you’re looking for a boutique hotel close to the O2, our ten Beautiful Bedrooms by Fuller’s offer some of the best accommodation on the Peninsula. Each room has a unique style, and offers an array of modern luxuries including spacious en-suite bathrooms, a comfy 1600-spring mattress, and Egyptian cotton sheets.

If you’re coming to see a show, we recommend booking as early as possible, as our individually designed, comfortable rooms go fast! Book a Standard or Superior double room or, for a more quirky option, try our Captain’s Cabin – a charming, cosy feature room complete with porthole window.

Needed a good 'hearty' meal after picking up my partner from Stansted airport... (she lives in Greenwich) and this was our destination... not disappointed! Bar staff were excellent and food was great... Good lager and beer as well as fantastic food was what were just what we needed !!!

The pilot is perfect for a pre gig drink if you are going to the o2. It’s close enough to walk to the o2. But far enough away that most people won’t go there. It’s a lovely pub with a great atmosphere. On my visit, the staff were fantastic. They kept track on who was waiting next at the bar. The food we had, was really nice. I had the burger and chips. Overall, it was a nice place to enjoy a couple beers before heading to the gig at the o2.

Nice classic looking hotel pub surrounded by modern buildings of Greenwich. Prices of drinks are very reasonable for the area and the staff was friendly and efficient. I liked the old nautical style interior of the pub. There is also nice looking garden area which we didn't use as it was cold, windy December evening. Maybe next time.

The place is nice and spacious. I was able to stay there for 3h with my 1yo walking everywhere and the staff was so nice and patience. Food is delicious. Parking is very convenient and for free right next to the entrance. My friends were going to an evening concert at the 02 Arena and this pub was so much a better option than the indoor bars at the arena.

Stayed here for 1 night to attend an event at the O2 arena. The Pilot is in a very good location, situated just a 10 minute walk from the O2 and Greenwich North underground station. The Pilot is a cracking little place with a lot of charm and a touch of class, and also has a very nice pub/restaurant. It was nice to see that it's popular with the local residents, and with visiting guests. Our room was very nice, loved the small touches to give it it's charm...like the bird perched on a bird box,way up above the door of our room (see photo). Room was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. It had everything we expected for a short stay, nice walk-in shower, separate loo, TV, tea/coffee maker... Bed was nice and comfortable too! We stayed for breakfast the following morning and the menu has a very good selection to choose from. I had the full English and it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Very well cooked and very tasty, exactly what we needed before heading home! The price we paid for our one-night stay was very good, going by how much we have paid to stay in other places in and around London, and they didn't have breakfast included! I would definitely book to stay here again the next time we are in the Greenwich area, and I can definitely recommend The Pilot. Cheers!
