Whether you’re just starting out with a new healthy hobby or you’re a fitness fanatic, Greenwich has a huge range of sports for you to try.
As a host borough of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Greenwich featured centre-stage in this historic sporting event. Greenwich Park featured as the backdrop for the modern pentathlon and equestrian events, while the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich were used for shooting and archery and The O2 was taken over for basketball and gymnastics.
The games inspired us all to get out and get active, and Greenwich has a huge range of sports for you to try, whether you’re just starting out with a new healthy hobby or you’re a full-on fitness fanatic.
From swimming in a heated, Olympic-sized lido to practicing your swing at a driving range that overlooks Canary Wharf, Greenwich has something for everyone. Coming in the winter? We even have a stunning ice rink set in the middle of a World Heritage Site, so you can weave and wobble across the ice as you gaze up at some of our most iconic building.
