London knows parks. Period. In hopes to keep our fitness activity up my friend and I signed up for a 10K race during our vacation weekend. The race was held in Greenwich Park which was a bit of a journey from our downtown hotel. The park was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a race. I highly recommend this park for... more

Fascinating place with lots of things to see and do. Loved the observatory and the meridian. Beautiful park - but watch your step. I severely sprained an ankle on the steps. more

Greenwich is a great way to have a free day out on a sunny weekend. The buildings of the Old Royal Naval college are now used by the University of Greenwich, but you stroll around the outsides, to mavel at the grandure and enter the Painted Hall and Chapel to admire the ceilings. Your trip must also include dipping into... more

The buildings and location are utterly superb - Palladian and Peorgian grandeur at their best - and there's an enormous sense of history in the contrast between the stately heritage of the Royal Naval College and the view across the Thames to Canary Wharf with all its skyscrapers. Go there from Thursday to Sunday and there's also the bohemian fun... more

The historic observatory and Maritime Museum are important, fascinating and architecturally impressive records of our nation's seafaring and scientific history, interesting for adults and children alike The sweeping views of London from the hill takes visitors by surprise. Greenwich itself is buzzy and vibrant, particularly on Sundays when the craft markets are open. No shortage of bars, eateries - very... more

Very much worth travelling out of central London to the South East suburb of Greenwich to visit the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. Easy public transport connections including overland train connections from Charing Cross and Bank Stations, or underground via Docklands Light Railway. The best way to arrive though is by boat - there are regular commuter boats advertised on... more

Me and my wife took a boat from Tower to Greenwich, include TEMSA GATES and explanations. It was worth every cent of money. Very interesting, very nice. The observatory isn't really big, but the place, the explanations and the views makes it excellent half-day spent. more

Surely London has more "important" spots, but this place is wonderful ! The Royal Naval and the park are so nice, and... being an engineer... I stayed almost 3 hours in the Astronomy and Time galleries (where you can have a grasp on why and how Britain "ruled "the waves...) Great pleace, don't miss it if you have half a... more

I caught the boat from the Westminster Pier (by Big Ben) to head to Greenwich. It was a beautiful day, which made the boat ride really nice as you get some great views of London. I posted some pictures and a narrative on my travel blog at: http://adams-travel-blog.blogspot.com/2009/06/greenwich.html As I said in my blog, the sights are nothing amazing. But... more
