Greenwich: Where East Meets West

Once a humble fishing village and now London’s newest Royal Borough, riverside Greenwich has been home home to kings and queens; astronomers and navigators; poets and privateers; and many more. Starting from under the figurehead of the Cutty Sark tea clipper, this walk will introduce you to parks and palaces, museums and markets, and all the variety of a vibrant community. If Greenwich was good enough for Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, Dr Johnson, Vanessa Redgrave, Liam Gallagher and Jools Holland, maybe you too should give it a try.
