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.
Running a site alone takes time and a fair bit of money. Adverts are far from enough to cover it and my living costs as a private renter.

Sounds not too dissimilar to Ivy House in Nunhead which is a massive asset to the local area. Good luck to them!
