When you come out of the pub, cross the road on the other side and jump a bus. Don't get a 199. Buses are fairly regular, I live in Greenwich and I get a 180 or 177 from Greenwich to Charlton.
It is it Si about a 10-15 min walk to the away end, or it’s a 3 minute walk to westcombe park station and 1 stop on the train to Charlton.
Hopefully police will also be staffing Westcombe Park because a few hundred blues fans all trying to squeeze on the last couple of trains before the game could be a problem.
imagine most large followings this season will be using London bridge for pre match.
got a pal coming in from abroad for the leeds game, and he suggested meeting at london bridge think ill change location.
in general match day pubs at charlton are pretty poor
the swan is okay - but pricey and stuffy regulars that seem to take offence that they do not have a chair the bugle - never has enough staff the oak - the pint of guinness in a coke glass was the last straw, dive rose of denmark - never been

Don't forget the Anchor in Hope. Sit outside on a nice day and only 10 minute walk.
Definitely have become short of matchday drinking venues. The Angerstein is a mile from the away end (i.e. 20 mins walk for those up to it). Probable that the police feel obliged to recommend somewhere as a means of containment for their 'element'.
Better cheaper facilities at the ground will happen one day surely, eventually, to cash-in on this match day drinking trade.
Not away pubs but for decent home (with a few away fans) match day drinking:
River Ale House Anchor & Hope White Swan Pelton Arms Cutty Sark Pilot
None of the above that near the ground. The closest home (only) pubs being the Oak and the Rose of Denmark both of which will do you a fairly low grade pint of beer. personally would say the same about the Bugle Horn which is close to the Swan, has a pool table but not great beer.
Good to have an away pub that caters for lots of lager away fans ideally near the ground. In the absence of that either at the ground or at London Bridge seem like better options for them

At £3.80 a pint or thereabouts, I find the Swan about the most reasonable pub in London for some decent beers. In Tooting at the moment - big pre-match warm-up this weekend - and it's £4.90 a pint.
Like the Rose, but beer there and at the other two is never great anyway - Rose marginally better.

Birmingham supporters travelling to Charlton tomorrow- new away pub since you were last here- The Angerstein Hotel, 108 Woolwich Road, SE10 0LE will cater for all away supporters pre-match. Safe journeys down #@bcfc #@wmpbcfc #cafc #bcfc

And yeah its a rubbish pub

It is at least 35 years since I've been in there - it was a shithole then.
