Itinerary
To the east of London lies Greenwich, an area steeped in maritime history, famous for its World Heritage UNESCO listed neo-classical palace designed by Sir Christopher Wren and National Maritime Museum with memorabilia from the victory over the Spanish Armada to Admiral Horatio Nelson's great triumphs at the battles of the Nile and of Trafalgar. The Museum packs a treasure house of maritime history inside its rooms - ordnance, artefacts, records and relics of the island's long relationship with all the seas of the world. On the hill overlooking the Museum stands the Old Royal Observatory, the home of Greenwich Meantime. (No interior visit intended unless requested by your party). Through the yard in front of it runs the line of zero longitudes dividing the Eastern and the Western hemispheres of the Globe and in its rooms are the telescopes and quadrants, clocks and chronometers that for centuries allowed Britain's mariners to bring back to London the riches and produce of the known world. Also, you will visit one of the world's most famous ships, the recently restored Cutty Sark. The Cutty Sark is the last surviving tea clipper and the fastest and greatest of her time. Marvel at the engineering feat that has been accomplished to preserve the ship for the next generations - the ship has now been hoisted ten feet into the air. You can now stroll in the museum directly under the ship and even touch its keel. Greenwich Market is a wonderful place to wander amongst the stalls selling ornaments, handcrafted items, souvenirs and other various goods for a present for someone you love. There are also, international food stalls (if available during the time of the visit) would lead you not only have the great taste but also will lead you to absorb the spirit of the atmosphere. It’s time to use Greenwich foot tunnel under River Thames to reach Island Gardens. This is another good viewpoint to observe Greenwich. Via Docklands, you will return to the city centre where your tour terminates today.
