Greenwich Park

Overview

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

Royal Observatory

The epicentre of Greenwich Mean Time, with some small but interesting galleries showing historic instruments used to track the stars.

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.

Price
£20.00 - Children £10
