The Spanish Galleon was designed and built by Joseph Kay in 1834, in the reign of William IV. However, there must have been another building here with the same name as I have reference to it as far back as 1823, less the above information is incorrect.

The historic building survived the Blitz with minor damage, and was refurbished in 2012 to offer modern facilities while retaining many of its original architectural features.

Popular with tourists visiting the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, it’s still a traditional pub which supports the local community too - through sponsorship of the Greenwich Tritons triathletes club.

Edward Walford in his "Old and New London" published about 1881 has in volume 6 page 194. "In Church Street is an inn bearing the very singular title of the "Spanish Galleon." The sign owes its existence in all probability to the fact of its standing so near to the pictures of our naval victories in the Royal Hospital, in which captured Spanish galleons figure somewhat frequently."

Today the pub is situated near to the Cutty Sark.
