The Royal Pavilion was situated at 2 Pier Road. This pub was close to Woolwich ferry and had a jazz club. The pub closed in the early 2000s and was demolished in 2003.
I used to go to this pub with my mum and dad when I was a kid and on one occasion at night we were sitting outside and my dad had to fish someone out the Thames who had fell off the Woolwich ferry terminal. If I remember it right it was a foreigner who had had a argument with his brother!!

Name	Dates	Comments
Wendy Williams	1970	I used to drink here as a young adult, it was a very popular place with its views onto the river, it was tucked into the corner as you approached the ferry.
Paul Vowles	Late 1970s	Used to be a regular when Ron & Eileen were the landlords.
Peter Pritchard	1954	My parents, Bill and Peggy Pritchard were landlords for a year in Woolwich. My sister Pam and me lived there and went to Story St School. We would jump over the back wall into the park and play after it was locked up. We moved to Ashburton in Devon and mum and Dad ran the Railway Hotel there for 10 years.
Norma Kullar	1993-1995	My husband Ronnie Kullar was the landlord and I was the cook. My mum Maureen Weir was a barmaid. Great community pub. Sadly, Ron and Eileen (a barmaid in her 70's, full of character and so stylish) have now passed away. Many happy memories.
Marcus Jay	1987-1992	This was an absolute family favourite. Used to frequent often as a kid, after visiting the railway museum opposite. Made good friends with the musical duo “Chas n Andy” who used to play there regularly in the late 80’s. Terribly sad to see the building torn down. Between the museum and the pub, they brought a real heart and soul to that austere little forgotten corner of east London.
