Welcome to GREENWICH
Welcome to Greenwich, a World Heritage Site and home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line. Our famous landmarks include Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, and Sir Christopher Wren’s Old Royal Naval College.
Enjoy a walk along the River Thames or in Greenwich Park before eating in one of Greenwich’s restaurants. Greenwich shopping is excellent, with plenty of quirky, independent shops and street markets. There’s too much to do in one day so why not stay overnight? Our friendly staff at Greenwich Tourist Information Centre can help you book a Greenwich hotel or bed and breakfast. You can call them on 0870 608 2000.
Greenwich Tourist Information Centre will also be pleased to help if you’re looking for a Greenwich event, or want to come to The O2 arena and enjoy world-beating entertainment and sport.
Only 20 minutes from Central London, Greenwich is easy to reach by Docklands Light Railway, tube, rail, bus or riverboat. Our Greenwich map will help you find your way to all the Greenwich attractions, accommodation and places to eat and drink.
It’s always a great time to visit Greenwich and browse the museums and markets, wander around Greenwich Park and relax in a riverside pub. Enjoy your visit!
