Located in quiet Royal Hill on the edge of Greenwich town centre and popular with locals. Often nicknamed Tolly's after a previous brewery owner of the pub, Tolly Cobbold until the 1970s. The long, narrow bar area opens out into a large, airy conservatory that was added as part of a 2014 refurbishment. Beyond the conservatory is a spacious, heated garden area. In March 2022 the pub underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, including extending into the former Greenwich Union pub next door.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed as Richard the First (until 2026, was listed as The Tolly Public House). Once called Ye Olde House, it was a Tollemache & Cobbold house for many years until acquired by Young's in 1974. The pub comprises three premises of varying ages. Originally the pub occupied no. 52 Royal Hill (18th century, Grade II-listed) with an off-licence at no. 54 (mid-19th century addition). The two properties were combined to form an enlarged pub in the early 1980s. Subsequently in 2021 Young’s acquired the former Fox & Hounds/Greenwich Union at no. 56 (believed to date from early 20th century) which was then incorporated into the Richard I. The pub’s entrance dates to the late 19th century.
