The Victoria pub, Charlton

This pub on the main Woolwich Road has been for very many years. See https://charltonchampion.co.uk/2018/08/26/whats-happening-to-the-derelict-victoria-pub-on-woolwich-road/ for more photographs. The building is included in Greenwich Council’s list of Buildings of Local Architectural or Historic Interest – the ‘local list’: “Late Victorian public house with Edwardian tiled façade by Truman’s Brewery. Despite fire-damaged interiors the fine tiled façade of 1910 survives with several splendid features including the large spread eagle which holds up the corner above the name ‘The Victoria’ and Truman’s trademark eagle on the Eastmoor Street façade. Significant townscape value being the only remaining building marking former historic crossroads of Eastmoor Street 107 of 132 Woolwich Road which gives a sense of the now lost, formerly intimate streetscape of the area. Qualifies due to architectural interest as an evocative and sole-surviving example and environmental significance as a characterful, time-honoured local feature. Forms part of the Thames Barrier and Bowater Road Conservation Area”.
