Often, people visiting London stay in Central London. However, there are many other areas worth visiting, such as Royal Greenwich, which has a lot of history and interesting landmarks. You can get there by Thames Clippers riverboat or by train. We prefer the former when the weather allows it.

Old Royal Naval College

King William Walk, East Greenwich, London SE10 9NN The Old Royal Naval College buildings are an architectural gem and a UNESCO World Heritage site. They were designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor and served as a naval hospital and training ground for the navy. Just walking around the grounds makes for a great experience, and you can also visit the Painted Hall to see the spectacular paintings in the ceiling. There are also events and exhibitions throughout the year. The area is situated next to the Thames, and there's a very nice walk along the river from Cutty Sark to the Trafalgar Tavern, where you can get some drinks or food and enjoy the day.
