“Maritime Museum”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

You can't beat this place on a beautiful day. Definitely a good day trip for everyone, but keep in mind it has a pretty steep walk up the hill. Not for the faint at heart. More

“Lovely Day on the River Thames and Strolling Greenwich”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

We repeated a trip which we did when last in London 5 years ago. We took a 45 minute boat ride on the Thames to Greenwich and strolled Greenwich then returned back by boat. The park is beautiful and there is quite a lot to see in Greenwich so well worth a day trip. The views over London from the... More

“Boat trip till Greenwich bit expensive, but the final stop worth it all.”

From Big Ben station till Greenwich , 12 pounds seams expensive.But the trip and the view is amazing. Pretty cool, but sunny weather and little windy otherwise.

person found this review helpful

First of all, fuel is expensive so go by train. Just two stops out from Mainline London Bridge station. About 5 minutes walk from the station to The Cutty Sark. Free things are:- 1) The visitors' centre at the old naval college; 2) The chapel in the old naval college (TV production for songs of praise in preparation); A lovely... More

“Worth the diversion”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

A 30-minute fascinatingThames Clipper trip downriver from the London Eye lies Greenwich Palace and, as the Victorian travel guide books used to say, it is ‘well worth the diversion’. I visited Greenwich on May 16th and was stunned by what is available at this massive site. The remarkable Cutty Sark, now miraculously restored after the great inferno of 2004 and... More

The its off to the park to let the kids have a run-around before maybe going to one of the museums or places to go. Its bustling at the weekend... More
