A five-minute walk from The Valley and the Addicks' matchday pub of choice for decades, friendly, well-run and full of Charlton history.
The spot
The Royal Oak is the kind of pub you want every community club to have. Five minutes from The Valley, full of Charlton history and run by people who care about the team and the area in equal measure.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: book the roast in advance for a Sunday match. The kitchen sells out.

Local tip 🇬🇧
Walk back via the river after the game. Charlton riverside is a lovely post-match wind-down most visitors miss.
The Royal Oak is the model community-club pub, and it makes a Charlton matchday feel proper.
