Greenwich Alphabet – A
Today’s post is brought to you by the Letter A
Okay folks – here’s a great idea thrown up by the post below about An Alphabet of London. Westcliff suggested we have our very own Greenwich Alphabet – and why not, indeed.
So – to kick off today – I want to know what the letter A stands for in local Greenwich parlance…
I’ll start:
Anson Gates
Ashburnham Triangle
Azof Street
Alfege
the attachments to this post:

Astronomy? Amersham Arms? (does that count as Greenwich?)…..
Olympic ‘Orses?
I’ll get my coat
As a former Greenwichitetonian(?),now living in Canada the letter ‘A’ is obviously spelt Eh, eh?
Ashburnham Arms (do I get a double score for that?).
Angerstein: Arms/Lane/Wharf/probably more
(The) Arches
the Arches leisure centre
Anne of Denmark
(although you may want to save her until we get to Q for the Queen’s House.
Was going to say the Angerstein but already on there, so instead I’ll go for the Antigallican.
Arsenal (Woolwich).
Admiral Hardy
Antiques
AEG (owners of the O2)
Altazimuth (Pavilion) http://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory/altazimuth-pavilion/
Astronomer Royal
Astrolabes (in the Maritime Museum)
Athletic (Charlton)….Sorry.
