Welcome to Greenwich
 |
Welcome to Greenwich, a World Heritage Site and home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line. Our famous landmarks include the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, and Sir Christopher Wren’s Old Royal Naval College.
Enjoy a walk along the River Thames or in Greenwich Park before eating in one of Greenwich’s restaurants. Greenwich shopping is excellent, with plenty of quirky, independent shops and street markets. There’s too much to do in one day so why not stay overnight? Our friendly staff at Greenwich Tourist Information Centre can help you book a Greenwich hotel or bed and breakfast. You can call them on 0870 608 2000.
Greenwich Tourist Information Centre will also be pleased to help if you’re looking for a Greenwich event, or want to come to The O2 arena and enjoy world-beating entertainment and sport.
Only 20 minutes from Central London, Greenwich is easy to reach by Docklands Light Railway, tube, rail, bus or riverboat. Our Greenwich map will help you find your way to all the Greenwich attractions, accommodation and places to eat and drink.
It’s always a great time to visit Greenwich and browse the museums and markets, wander around Greenwich Park and relax in a riverside pub. Enjoy your visit!

Royal Greenwich
Greenwich became a Royal Borough on 3 February 2012, one of the first events in the year Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee. Greenwich will also be a host borough for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games this year so it's a big one all round!
Royal River
This spectacular exhibition, at the National Maritime Museum, brings together nearly 400 beautiful, fascinating and often unique objects, including one of the largest-ever loans of Royal Collection objects. Created to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and guest-curated by historian David Starkey, Royal River presents the historic Thames in all its glory from British royal and City events to London’s famous watermen.
