Trafalgar Tavern, Grade II listed pub in Greenwich, England
The Trafalgar Tavern is an established pub situated on the north bank of the Thames, directly beside the Old Royal Naval College. The building features multiple rooms designed for different purposes, including a spacious dining and event space.
The building was constructed in 1837 by architect Joseph Kay as a replacement for an earlier tavern that served local fishermen and visitors. The location has been connected to the river and its visitors from the start.
The place holds literary significance because Charles Dickens featured a wedding breakfast here in his novel. Visitors can see the room that served as the setting for this famous scene, creating a connection to Victorian literature.
The location is easy to reach and sits on a scenic riverside setting with open pedestrian access. Its proximity to other historical buildings and attractions allows visitors to explore the area on foot.
A statue of Admiral Nelson based on his death mask was installed outside in 2008. This monument links the building to the maritime heritage of the area.
