I have to say that the Trafalgar Tavern is one of my favourites - an 
ex boyfriend used to play in a jazz trio there a few years ago, so it 
holds some happy memories.  However, unless it's a nice day and you 
can go outside, last time I went in there it was a bit on the dingy 
side.  

If you walk further along the river, away from Greenwich, you come to 
the Cutty Sark pub, which is better.  It has seating outside, 
overlooking the river, is quite an old, picturesque, traditional 
looking pub, and during the day it isn't as busy as those in the 
middle of Greenwich, as they are always packed full of tourists and 
market-goers.  (It is confusing that this is the pub called the Cutty 
Sark, when it is nowhere near - the nearest pub to the Cutty Sark is 
the Gypsy Moth, which is OK but a bit plastic.)

So, the Cutty Sark is the one I would arrange for a relatively 
civilised and peaceful drink.  It isn't far at all from the centre of 
Greenwich, and the walk to it along the river is quite pleasant.
