Although North Woolwich is on the Essex side of the Thames the area was administered with the rest of Woolwich after the aftermath of the 1066 conquest and so was once part of Kent. The name North Woolwich became part of Essex after the opening of the now closed railway station with that name in 1847. In 1888 it became part of the County of London and in 1965 became part of Greater London.

Royal Standard was build in 1867. Before the London Borough of Newham was created, part of the land in North Woolwich E16 was administrated by Kent, part by Essex, the maps of that era, show the boundary line going straight through the middle of the Royal Standard pub. Due to different licensing hours of Kent and Essex locals remember after the last orders were called in one part of the pub, they would go to the other side for extra drinking time.
