Maritime Legacy and Historic Setting
The Gipsy Moth stands proudly on Greenwich Church Street, a Grade I listed building embodying centuries of London pub tradition. Originally known as the Wheatsheaf, it adopted its current name in 1972 to honor Sir Francis Chichester's legendary yacht, Gipsy Moth IV, which completed the first solo nonstop circumnavigation of the globe in 1966-67. This maritime nod infuses the pub with a sense of adventure, its location mere steps from the Cutty Sark clipper ship amplifying the nautical heritage of Greenwich, once the world's shipbuilding heart.Courtyard Oasis with Cutty Sark Vistas
Step into the expansive courtyard beer garden, a sun-drenched haven perfect for alfresco dining or sipping pints amid blooming greenery. Multiple seating areas cater to sun-seekers and shade-lovers alike, offering unobstructed views of the towering Cutty Sark against the Thames skyline. In summer, the garden buzzes with barbecues and laughter, transforming into a lively extension of Greenwich's riverside charm, where historic ships meet modern revelry.Classic Pub Fare and Drink Selection
The menu celebrates British pub classics: hearty fish and chips, pies with flaky pastry, and seasonal roasts paired with real ales from a well-stocked back bar. Craft beers, ciders, and wines complement the grub, with options for casual bites or full meals. The bar's historic pumps dispense local brews, evoking the pub's deep-rooted role in Greenwich's social fabric, where sailors and locals once gathered.Live Entertainment and Community Hub
Evenings come alive with regular live music, drawing crowds for folk sessions and acoustic sets that echo through the timber-beamed interiors. The Snug, an intimate semi-private room with booth seating and direct bar access, hosts gatherings for up to 30, ideal for birthdays or casual meetups. This blend of tradition and energy makes The Gipsy Moth a cornerstone of Greenwich life, fostering connections in its warm, buzzing ambiance.Greenwich's Enduring Pub Spirit
Positioned in the UNESCO-listed Maritime Greenwich, the pub bridges the past and present, its walls whispering tales of exploration while its garden frames panoramic river scenes. Whether nursing a pint by the fire or toasting in the open air, visitors experience the timeless allure of a proper London local, steeped in history yet vibrantly alive.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
