John Lovibond & Sons Ltd, Greenwich Brewery, 177 Greenwich High Street SE10 & St.Anne's Brewery, Salisbury, Wilts. , Greenwich , Greater London .

Founded by John Locke Lovibond at Frome, Somerset, in 1834 and bought the Nag's Head Brewery, Esther Place, Bridge Street, Greenwich, in 1847. It is said from a Mr Peacock, possibly the James Peacock who was brewing at Blackheath in the 1860s. The Salisbury brewery was founded in 1869.

New brewery built at Greenwich High Street in 1865 on land purchased from the London & Greenwich Railway. The Bridge Street premises were retained mainly for malting. Registered July 1896. At the end of World War II, the public houses were in need of refurbishment that had not been done since the 1930s. This led to a decision to cease brewing and concentrate on selling wine. The public houses were sold, most going to Bristol Brewery Georges & Co. Ltd.

Last brew at Greenwich was in 1959. The company image was changed to that of wine merchants with 104 shops. Acquired by Wine Ways Supermarkets Ltd. in 1968. An attempt to reopen the brewery by the Alan Greenwood Beer Agency (Brewing) Ltd in 1978 was not realised.

The Greenwich buildings remain intact.
