Just 20 minutes from central London

Situated on the River Thames in south east London, Maritime Greenwich is a World Heritage Site and famous for such historic landmarks as the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line, and the inspirational architecture of Sir Christopher Wren at the Old Royal Naval College.

So near to central London - only 20 minutes from the city centre - Greenwich is a place of contrasts. From the awe-inspiring architecture of the Queen's House and the tranquil open spaces and breathtaking views in Greenwich Park, to the cosy pubs and bustling street markets, Greenwich has something for everyone.

Take a look at our special Greenwich Video Podcast for a glimpse of what Greenwich has to offer.
