The pub:
The Plume of Feathers, a quaint old English pub just outside Greenwich Park dates from 1691. A short walk from Maze Hill station just 100m from the National Maritime museum, and literally opposite Greenwich Park. The pub is on the Meridian Line. The pub is cosy in the winter months and fresh in the summer. The Plume of Feathers offers a country-in-the-city feel.

The single room wraps itself around a central bar and is decked with maritime pictures and insignia on the walls and within the windows. The restaurant area in the back has wooden panels, an open fire, thick curtains and candlelight. The eye is drawn to the rear of the pub, to a beautiful garden that is a suntrap and uniquely blessed at night with the laser of the Greenwich Meridian Beam passing directly overhead.

The road outside The Plume of Feathers was once the main road passing through Greenwich. It divided the park from the Tudor Palace, which stood by the river. There are a number of attractive houses in this street. The Chantry was built as the residence of the Admiral Commissioner of the Naval School and incorporates some Tudor remains. Also Hamilton House is named after Emma Hamilton, Nelson's lover who resided there.

This Inn known by the name and sign of the Plume of Feathers was built in the third year reign of William and Mary in 1691. Though the original structure of the building has undergone alteration through the years, particulary during the reign of George III, when the present facade was erected.

The House was licensed in its year of foundation and was called the the "Feathers". The house was kept at this date by Jacob Bethell, who is described as the Innkeeper and Keeper of the Keen, which meant that he kept some kind of livestock, either cows or sheep. The property then consisted of a main tenement with stables and outbuildings. Its location was given as the "Feathers" at the Park. It only became the Plume of Feathers during the Regency.
