Greenwich is an outstanding place to visit, full of history, wildlife and heritage. Greenwich Park provides a setting for several historic buildings, including the Old Royal Observatory, the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen's House.
Steeped in its seafaring history Greenwich is the original home of the Old Royal Naval College, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and the Old Royal Dreadnought Hospital. In 1997 Greenwich Maritime was declared a World Heritage site.
There are many things to do, to see and to photograph. Stop for refreshments in quaint tea houses or the traditional English pub.
