The Pepys Building, The Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich LONDON SE10 9BL near to The River Thames Tideway. This brewery and pub had only opened a few weeks earlier as part of the new "Discover Greenwich" centre.

Formerly the Greenwich Tourist Information Centre, this part of the former Royal Naval College was refurbished and expanded to become a new interactive museum of local history when it reopened in 2010.

The "Discover Greenwich" visitor information centre at the Old Royal Naval College. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and built between 1696 and 1712, the buildings of The Old Royal Navy College at Greenwich were originally constructed as the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, now generally known as Greenwich Hospital. The hospital closed in 1869; between 1873 and 1998 it was the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. The buildings form the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site, described by UNESCO as being of “outstanding universal value” and reckoned to be the “finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles” (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/795/ UNESCO). The site is now managed by the Greenwich Foundation for the Old Royal Naval College (http://www.ornc.org/ ), set up in July 1998 as a Registered Charity to “look after these magnificent buildings and their grounds for the benefit of the nation”. The grounds and some of its buildings are open to visitors.
