Greenwich

Spent a wonderful afternoon exploring “Maritime Greenwich” today. There is so much to visit and when you get tired, there’s plenty of space to rest in Greenwich Park or along the riverside and admire the views.

This is definitely one area of London that I’ll want to re-visit!

Take your time here. The off-the-boat-hour-in-the-park-back-on-the-boat thing just doesn’t work. Come down to the quay, spend some time in the Maritime Museum, have some lunch in the Gypsy Moth (if you can find a table), spend the afternoon in the Observatory, go back up the river after a full day.

I stayed at a B&B in Greenwich while I was in London. Definitely worth a visit!

I was walking along the path on the other side of the Thames and ended up at the foot tunnel under the river to Greenwich, & figured I’d check it out, & I’m glad I did. The symmetry of the buildings of the naval college, the green of the lawns, the big hill and the observatory at the top of it, lunch at Goddards pie and mash—all so pleasing!

I’ve been to the Observatory several times but somehow haven’t got around to visiting the National Maritime Museum. Call myself British? Tchah.
