I am informed that the pub is no longer there. Further information indicated that the "Bull's Head" was bombed during the Second World War and a number of children died there as they were gathering there to be transported into the countryside. Apparently a church was built on the site of the pub in memory of the children.

From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 29 September, 1855.
