The Cubitt Arms was situated at 262 Manchester Road. This pub was built in 1864 as part of the development of Cubitt Town.  In the early days it belonged to the Millwall Canal Company, and was first leased to Truman’s Brewery in 1873remaining with that brewery until recent years.  It was well-known for its reasonably intact inter-war period interior, complete with wood-panelling and vintage Truman’s Brewery advertising.  The pub closed in 2011 and planning permission is being sought for conversion to residential use.
