Greenwich

Greenwich is a district in southeast London, on the south bank of the River Thames. It includes Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory, the Old Royal Naval College and the Cutty Sark. The Royal Observatory sits on a hill in the park; the Prime Meridian runs through it, marking 0° longitude and the historic reference for Greenwich Mean Time. The riverside south of the park has terraces of 18th- and 19th-century buildings and Greenwich Pier, which connects river services.

At street level, Greenwich Market occupies a cluster of stalls and small shops within a narrow lane network, while Commissioner's House and the Painted Hall form part of the naval college complex. The National Maritime Museum lies between the park and river, holding maritime charts and collections linked to Britain’s naval history. The Greenwich Foot Tunnel provides a pedestrian route under the Thames to the Isle of Dogs. Regular events use the park and riverfront, and the area combines public green space, museums and a riverside walkway.
