Deptford's best-kept secret: voted "CAMRA London pub of the year" not long ago and Casque Mark rated, this friendly local on Prince Street is often surprisingly quiet on weekdays. They have their own bike racks, too (at the right of the photo) for the many cyclists who call in. According to the landlady, until c.1900 the pub was called the Royal Marine. The origin of the present name may lie in the original name of the street (Dog Street) or else after the practice of duck-baiting.
