Boxing champion "Tom Cribb" pub sign. London. UK

---

The pub is named after British champion bare-knuckle boxer Tom Cribb who, in the 1800s, retired from the ring and later became a publican, at the Union Arms. The pub changed its name to honour his career. Tom is buried in St Mary Magdalene Churchyard, Woolwich, where there is a memorial to him and the pub celebrates its heritage with boxing prints and photos on the walls, including Lennox Lewis and Henry Cooper.
