Have your say on ice cream trading on King William Walk
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is running a consultation on whether to ban itinerant ice cream trading - that means trading from ice cream vans - on King William Walk in Greenwich Town Centre. We’re asking traders, residents and local community members to give their views.
Street trading has always been an important part of daily life in Royal Greenwich. It helps provide jobs for local people and creates a lively, vibrant atmosphere across our town centres. It also offers a place where residents and visitors can conveniently pick up food and other items.
The Council wants to support street trading, whilst ensuring our streets remain safe for our residents and fulfil our commitment to create a cleaner, greener Royal Greenwich.
The consultation runs from 5 February to 5 March. You can share your feedback on the proposal by emailing Street-Trading-Consultation@royalgreenwich. gov.uk , writing to the Street Trading team at Woolwich Centre, 35 Wellington Street, London SE18 6HQ or by visiting the link below.
For more information and to give your views, please visit royalgreenwich.gov.uk/king-william-walk
The Council has a plan to keep our roads safe. When snow or ice is forecast, we grit 184 miles of priority roads. During severe weather, we go even further. Find route maps, locations of salt bins and more information at royalgreenwich.gov.uk/winterweather

“They all convene at this place, the local Friday night disco, The Pavilion or Pivvy: once a grand old theatre for the upper echelons, now a drafty old cavernous wasteland for the hoi polloi. I’ve seen more blood, puke and tears than anyone should ever have to and I’m back every Friday night to witness more.” Set in a small town in a forgotten corner of Wales, Pavilion showing at Greenwich Theatre is a show full of big personalities – and every one of them out for the final Friday night disco at the Pavilion. Like the local school and the public library, it’s about to be shut down. Pavilion is a dark comedy by Emily White, which premiered at Theatr Clwyd in September 2019, and is directed by Georgina Lamb.

Deptford Flower launches at Market Yard
Manager Ru Dannreuther on organising the Saturday market and why he ‘loves inspiring everyday joy with bold colours’ through floristry
Ru Dannreuther is “the world’s biggest Lewisham lover” and is the manager of Deptford Flower Market, which has just launched and will run every Saturday at Deptford Market Yard.
“I was really stuck in a rut before starting doing those floristry courses. I was feeling depressed and frustrated with my day job at the time. The courses helped me rediscover joy in creativity, build my self-belief and grow confidence.”
The “newfound energy and better mental health” led Ru to apply for a new job and he is now running a cinema and arts centre during the week.
the new market in my hometown of Deptford, to help bring Deptford Market Yard more exciting independent businesses and share the place I love with visitors and locals alike”.
At the market, you can expect bargains, blooms, tea, books, brownies, preloved gems and much more – stallholders will change every week so it’s worth making it a part of your weekend routine.
visited, but it really is a down to earth, inclusive and a wonderful place to visit, live and shop.”
He believes there is much to love in the area – from pizza at SALT, “mad kitsch” cocktails at Little Nan’s Bar or “yummy vegan junk food” at The Waiting Room.
As well as being the manager of Deptford Flower Market (*not just flowers, as is the disclaimer), Ru runs the florist Where Have All The Flowers Gone?.
He tells The Weekender : “I suffer from depression and anxiety and in 2023 discovered floristry at Adult Learning Lewisham.
“I am a jack of all trades and usually people ask, ‘How many jobs do you have?!’,” he says. “As well as a cinema job, and the floristry, I also run a things-to-do website with my partner Stu called To Do List.”
The market adds another string to his bow. Ru is “so excited to launch
“We will also have a car boot sale on Sunday with pitches for just £10, so you’re guaranteed to find something every weekend,” he adds.
Ru says that Deptford is a “community unlike any other”, adding: “Often quoted as the hipster ‘coolest high street’, mostly by people who haven’t
“Not forgetting the amazing Kim with her accessories stall, Terry’s hardware shop with his lovely cats and Yasmin Gems for spectacular hats and jewels,” Ru adds.
Of creating spaces for queer, local and unrepresented people, Ru explains: “I am a queer person who grew up in south east London and often got bullied and shouted at because of the clothes I wear.
What’s on Market
“I believe it’s an important act of pride and representation to provide spaces like our market to platform the amazing creativity going on in London.”
Where Have All The Flowers Gone? is a queer, punk florist. Ru says he loves “inspiring everyday joy with bold colours, unusual flowers and beautiful bouquets”.
Ru explains: “We are committed to being sustainable by growing our own blooms and buying locally grown not flown flowers wherever possible, teaching people to compost and using everlasting dried and vintage artificial flowers.
“Most supermarket flowers come halfway around the world on a boat, which is sad when we can grow flowers really successfully in this country.
“We have a tiny flower farm of our own in Lee Green, where we took over the back of my dad’s garden for a greenhouse to grow our own unusual flowers. He was thrilled, NOT!”
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, Ru says flowers
are the ultimate expression of romance.
“It’s a cheesy cliché but Valentine’s is a great time to show you love someone (even if me and Stu have a pact to no-gift each other),” says Ru.
“Part of our Where Have All The Flowers Gone? ethos is ‘less is more’ for sustainable affordability, so giving one beautiful flower that has been cared about is better than 50 roses.”
Ru is “an unusual florist” in that he doesn’t really do roses or tulips, or anything you can get in a supermarket.
His favourite flowers are Celosia, which “look like fluffy velvet brains”, and Teddy Bear Sunflowers, which are a “rarer form of the classic yellow beauty”.
That’s Valentine’s Day sorted, then.

Time to walk the plank
culture and why pirates generate such fascination. Whether as comical characters like Captain Pugwash, villains like Captain Hook and Long John Silver, or anti-heroes like Captain Jack Sparrow, pirates have captured the imagination for generations.
From television to theatre, pirates are portrayed in a similar guise, bearded outlaws dressed in seventeenth-century fashion and sporting a tricorn hat.
This spring sees a major new exhibition opening at the National Maritime Museum; Pirates will trace the changing depictions of pirates throughout the ages and reveal the brutal history often obscured by fiction.
While sometimes portrayed as tricksters or scoundrels, pirates are primarily swashbuckling adventurers associated with lush islands, flamboyant dress and buried treasure.
In Britain today, we often think of pirates from the Caribbean seas, but historic piratical activity was far-reaching, taking different forms throughout the world.
The exhibition will cover piracy across the globe looking at the South China Sea, Indian Ocean and Barbary pirates who operated off the coast of North Africa.
Much of this comes from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, the novel that popularised myths such as walking the plank, pet parrots and hiding treasure.
The exhibition will show how these tropes have been incorporated into a range of characters.
Textile loans include the costume worn by Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and a Vivienne Westwood ensemble from the 1981 ‘Pirate’ collection.
Moving beyond fiction, Real Pirates will delve into tales of specific pirates focusing on the so-called “golden age” of piracy from the 1680s to the 1720s.
A key text informing this period was A General History of the Pyrates by Captain Charles Johnson, which narrates the lives of famous piratical figures, first published in 1724.
Little is known about Johnson, but it is now believed that he is an alias for the newspaper printer Nathaniel Mist.
www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/nationalmaritime-museum/pirates Explore the history of pirates in a new National Maritime Museum exhibition coming this March
to show how Johnson’s various editions fed into and responded to popular ideas of pirates across Europe tracking how illustrations of pirates became more elaborate and theatrical to appeal to the public. Though flawed, this book has remained an important historical source.
In Global Pirates, highlight objects include a hanging captured from a junk in the fleet of the Chinese pirate Shap Ng-tsai, which was active in the mid-nineteenth century.
Originally thought to be a flag, it is now believed to have been used in a shrine on board the ship dedicated to T’ien Hou, regarded as a calmer of storms and protectress of marine commerce, fishermen and sailors.
The Pirates exhibition – which will be open from 29 March 2025 to 4 January 2026 – will deconstruct these myths and illuminate the realities of pirate life, including those of the pirates Edward ‘Blackbeard’ Teach, William Kidd, Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
Covering theatre, film and fashion, the exhibition brings together material from early literature on piracy in the eighteenth century to 1980s fashion.
The exhibition will show nearly 200 objects, including loans from the National Archives, V&A and BFI.
The first section of the exhibition, The Pirate Image, will explore popular
A highlight loan will be a selection of original illustrations from the comedy animation Captain Pugwash.
The artist and writer John Ryan created the character of Captain Horatio Pugwash. He first appeared in cartoon strips before being featured in a television series using hand-animated figures.
The National Maritime Museum has one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of the A General History of the Pyrates thanks to Philip Gosse, the son of Edmund Gosse, a lifelong friend of Robert Louis Stevenson. Inspired by Stevenson, Philip began to acquire a pirate library, later purchased by the Museum.
The exhibition will draw on this collection
With lots more to explore, visitors are invited to uncover truths and learn the true history of piracy through the ages.
29 March 2025 to 4 January 2026

Highwaymen, pickpockets and the fun of learning Latin
I thought this week I should come back with another episode of the childhood of George Landmann - the man who built the Greenwich Railway. All of this story is taken from his autobiography, the first volume of which is really about his youth, his birth and upbringing in the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich.
Those of you who are fed up with me going on about George Landmann will be glad to know that once he had qualified from RMA he went off to Plymouth and then Canada and, although he probably came back to
Greenwich to visit his parents, we have to wait another 50 years before his work on the Greenwich railway and he becomes of interest to us again.
So hold your breath for 50 years!
I’m also omitting from this description of his childhood and youth his many accounts of expeditions and meetings with various famous people. I would recommend anybody to read his
autobiography, which is amusing and interesting and full of incident, but most of it is not relevant to his life in Greenwich - and I am quite honestly not sure if all of it is true.
George says his father took a house on Blackheath in 1789 when he, George, would have been 10 years old. I’ve been unable to find out where this house was. He says it was in ‘Sot’s Hole, also called Conduit Vale’. That is now the area at the top of Hyde Vale where it joins West Grove. In the 18th century there were houses on West Grove and others facing the Dover Road on areas which are now grassland.. I understand that the late, and much missed, Neil Rhind compiled a database which has extensive information about the inhabitants of that area, but there is no entry for the Landmann family. Maybe because they rented the property they don’t appear in the rate books
and directories which Neil used.
We know that in 1812 the Landmann family were living at 28 Crooms Hill. George says they were at Sots Hole for only three years – so where were they from 1792 to 1812? Did they go back to Woolwich?
Most of what George has to say about life on Black Heath is about highway men and I suppose at a site so near to the Dover Road there were some good views of them – and exciting for a young boy. He describes the robberies as ‘exceedingly frequent and perpetrated in broad daylight’ and I’m quite prepared to believe this. If you look at the local papers for these years there many reports of local highway robberies. In 1789, the first year in which George lived on Blackheath, we find in just one month: “On Saturday night three robberies were committed on
Mary Mills
the other side of Blackheath, by three men armed with cutlasses and bludgeons”... “Saturday night a Mr. Frodsham’s carriage was stopped on Blackheath by a single highwayman, badly mounted, who took from him a small sum, and rode off towards London”... “On Monday night last... William Thomas and Samuel Goodwin were taken by the patrols upon Blackheath Road, after robbing a Captain Sproul and a lady in a chariot of their watches and some silver - they appear be the gang of footpads which have frequented the Blackheath Road for this long time past.”
George wrote about several robberies which he claims to have witnessed. He records how one Sunday evening “well dressed inhabitants of the vicinity were prominent in Chesterfield Walk ... when they were suddenly looking in the direction of the Green Man Tavern”. This pub was just across the road on what is now the site of Allison Close – it was there until the 1970s and I’m sure there are people
still around who will remember the ‘music hall’ nights there.
In 1789 what people in Chesterfield Walk saw was “a man on a horse making the utmost haste on the road to London”. It appeared that this individual had intercepted a resident sitting in his garden, reading a book. He was mounted on a handsome horse and spoke politely in a friendly way to the book reader - but then got out a pistol and held it to the resident’s head and then rode off with his valuables.
You can be sure they all had ‘handsome horses’- today’s robbers are also said to be fussy over the quality of their cars! Next on Chesterfield Walk that day were two people who said they had just been robbed near the Rising Sun pub, by four armed men.
George also records that the artist Paul Sandby, then drawing master at the Royal Military Academy, knocked on their door one evening. He had his daughter with him and
said they had been stopped by a robber and both he and his daughter had lost their watches and their money. His daughter was so upset that he had brought her down to the Landmanns’ house so that she could sit and recover herself.
Next he tells how a General Mcleod, out with his wife, encountered a highwayman on the road to Charlton. The robber pointed a pistol at them saying he would blow their heads off if they didn’t give him their valuables. As he turned to look away the General picked up a Cologne bottle and pushed the end of it into the robber’s neck, saying he would blow his head off. The robber clearly thought that what the General was holding against his neck was a pistol and immediately ran off...
George Landmann also says that every month he witnessed the transport of the money to Woolwich to pay the artillery stationed there. It was taken across Blackheath with an escort of artillery officers and six private soldiers. Three of
the privates walked on each side of the post chaise carrying the money along with the pay clerk. There was a non-commissioned officer marching in the rear and the soldiers all had fixed bayonets and muskets loaded with ball.
Changing the subject from criminals on horses, George, talks about the “celebrated pickpocket Barrington”. There are a number of websites which describe the career of George Barrington (https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/George_Barrington) George Landmann’s description of him as “celebrated” says a lot about the glamorisation of criminal in the early 19th century.
When the family lived in Blackheath George was sent to a school ‘of which the Rev. Dr. Egan was the master’. James Egan had taken over ‘The Royal Park Academy’ in Greenwich from his father in law, Dr. Bakewell. Egan was interested in methods of teaching languages and encouraged boys to only speak either Latin or French in school
and to do so in a way that ‘divests instruction of harshness’. In 1786 the school had won a national prize for its methods of teaching Latin to school boys by making learning fun.
It should be noted that as an adult George Landmann spoke several languages fluently.
George says that the school was ‘close to the new church, at the corner of King Street, and is now converted into tea gardens’somewhere near the park gate at the top end of King William Street. George’s ‘new church’ was St.Mary’s – now long gone and which stood on the site now taken by William IV’s enormous statue.
Once in his teens George became a cadet at the Royal Military Academy and gave great descriptions of classes there and of the various members of staff who worked alongside his father.
I might do an article on that in due course.
