Photo by me, the museum is very dark inside.

Definitely the best value for money museum in Greenwich - the National Maritime Museum is enormous, with varied displays ranging from the exploration of the Pacific to the doomed Polar expeditions of the early 1900s.

There’s a well appointed cafĂ© too. I went on Saturday and it still didn’t feel too busy - the building can absorb far more visitors than most.
