A flying pig
The pub is called 'The Who'd 'a' Thought It' so a flying pig on the sign seems right. This is on Timbercroft Lane near Plumstead Common.

Plumstead Common Working Men's Club & Institute
Plumstead Common Working Men's Club & Institute is where local lad Steve Davis learned to play snooker. His Wikipedia entry says:
"Steve Davis, OBE (born 22 August 1957) is a retired English professional snooker player from Plumstead, London. He dominated the sport during the 1980s, when he reached eight World Snooker Championship finals in nine years, won six world titles, held the world number one ranking for seven consecutive seasons, and became the first snooker player to earn over £1 million in prize money. His encounter with Dennis Taylor in the 1985 World Championship final is widely noted as one of the most famous matches in snooker history. Decided on the final black, it set a record post-midnight UK television audience of 18.5 million viewers. The BBC named Davis its Sports Personality of the Year in 1988, and he remains the only snooker player ever to win the award."
