Greenwich park is my favourite park in London. You can do almost anything there - refreshing or romantic walks, picnic with friends or share some priceless moments with family! Best when its sunny but good in more typical English weather as well. And if you are feeling hot there are few ice cream vans or an ice cream cafe where... More

The area is lovely. The "village" of Greenwich is picturesque even if it is in the middle of London. The park is as british parks are. Wide and good for strolling around. The attractions in the park are easy to get to and if you go there for seeing the meridian line you have two options. One: Visit the observatory... More

Greenwich was a surprise for me. We did go there by boat, and that already was excellent, But Greenwich itself was very nice to see and experience

This was not originally on our plans, but some friends suggested it and we're so glad they did. We took a river cruise from Westminster to Greenwich and saw just about every important landmark along the way. The park offers a great view overlooking London and the town has cute shops and restaurants, including the Trafalgar Inn - touristy but... More

Went to Greenwich for the first time in many years. The Cutty Sark seems to be well refurbished and you can see some of it without paying the entry fee. It now dominates Cutty Sark Gardens. But what has happened to Gypsy Moth IV? It used to be good to see the contrast in size of the two vessels. Shops... More

Fantastic place with wonderful park. Nearby restaurants, Naval College & University always reminds you of meridian past of Greenwich. Cutty Sark rebuilt nearby. Wonderful space & place to have family picnics. Lovely surrounding with oak trees & view of Canary Wharf.

The traffic really needs to be diverted from the main shopping area. It is grim and not at all pedestrian friendly.
