Royal Greenwich & The City Travel Guide

Day One

Take a tour on the wild side through the Royal Borough walking or freewheeling across the idyllic Greenwich Park, the historic Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site and along the world-famous River Thames.

Stop off at the Cutty Sark Rig Climb Experience. For the first time since arriving in Greenwich in 1954, visitors to Cutty Sark will be able to climb the famous ship's masts and enjoy views of the Thames and London like no other.

Back on land – straddle the East and West across the Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory.

Glide above the Thames in the London Cable Car and take in aerial views of London's skyline with a round-trip discovery experience that includes an in-flight souvenir.

Day Two

Begin your day at Sir James Thornhill's Painted Hall, the jewel of the Old Royal Naval College – a golden-hued chamber that’s ready to leave you open-mouthed, you’ll have an interactive guide to fill you in on the site’s incredible history as you explore.

Before cruising down the river with City Cruises, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers or your own private Thamesjet speedboat ride to explore boundless kingdoms – disembark at Tower Pier to the historic City of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. The Bar at Madison is a destination in its own right with spectacular city views, a wide range of cocktails and delicious bar snacks.

End your adventures at Up at The O2, an exhilarating walk over the roof of the famous tent to stand at 52 metres high for 360° views of the city skyline and the Thames. Feel the wind on your face, stop for selfies, and maybe a celebratory drink at the top of this iconic London landmark.

Day Three 

Start your morning at the Queen’s House for an insight into a regal way of life, climb the stunning and unique Tulip Stairs, enjoy uplifting musical performances, and admire art masterpieces and iconic portraits of past Royalty.

Before touring Greenwich Market – enjoy organic and locally sourced food, drink and products as well as arts and crafts by local designer makers and capturing plenty of ‘gramable’ moments on a guided tour!

Stay Longer...

Royal Greenwich makes for a beautiful base for exploring the capital, just a short and easy hop by train, tube, DLR or river to the City of London, Westminster and the other Royal Boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Kingston upon Thames. 

Don’t forget… 

You can round off any of your days with a show at Woolwich Works where you’ll be entertained with homegrown and exciting talent through unmissable cabaret, music and comedy shows. Opened in September 2021, it is London’s newest cultural district with an exciting programme of music, comedy and cabaret shows.
