Greenwich Park

Photo showing a view of Queens House with skyscrapers behind. — Photo by me, There was a queue to take this picture.

Stretching from Greenwich to Blackheath, Greenwich Park offers panoramic views of the Naval College and Docklands from One Tree Hill and the Royal Observatory.

Just be prepared for some climbing, the hills are not insubstantial. You can cycle through some of the park so watch out for people descending rapidly on the main road.

Things to do

I know I complain a lot about prices but £20 feels like an amount you can only get away with if everyone has climbed a steep hill to be there.

£20.00 - Children £10
