The views over the Royal Naval College and the Queen’s House sre stunning. The bend in the River Thames can be seen and there are views of The Shard, The London Eye and St Paul’s Cathedral.

I never tire of this park and visit it every few days when in London. It is a favourite with joggers, has a great children’s playground and provides access to many great sites and views including the Royal Naval Museum and the Freddie Offer Wing. There is a good cafe in the museum. There is a great Rose Garden, a deer park and the Rangers House sits to one side and is worth a visit.

Lived in by King William and Mary, the house sits in grounds adjoining Greenwich Park. The external areas are open to the public free of charge. The house itself is beautifully proportioned, has a good collection of paintings and is worth a visit to see its fabulous staircase.

This is a seriously typical old style pub. You might see a visiting Pearly King and Queen and the Queen Mum hangs from the wall. They have a couple of live music nights when you can have a beer and free entertainment. You can get good food at the bar and is between our house and the river, so not far to walk.
