Greenwich guide

The London borough of Greenwich incorporates some 1,685 streets. Greenwich at its widest point is 9.6 miles by 10.3 miles in length.

The London Borough of Greenwich lies on the south bank of the Thames. Rich in maritime history, Greenwich also has an outstanding architectural heritage. Many of its buildings are designed by well known English architects, including the Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory built by Sir Christopher Wren for King Charles II. At the Royal Observatory visitors can stand astride Longitude Zero with one foot in the eastern and the other in the western hemisphere.

The borough enjoys many royal connections and within its boundaries are two former Royal Palaces and two royal dockyards. Additional visitor attractions include Greenwich Market, the Cutty Sark - the oldest surviving tea and wool clipper, the Millennium Dome and the Thames Barrier. Greenwich can be reached in 15 minutes by train from central London, or via a leisurely 45 minute cruise from Westminster or Charing Cross Piers.

These 1,685 streets are home to over 866 LondonTown.com featured venues, which include 301 restaurants, 184 shops, 91 attractions, 53 clubs and pubs and 117 leisure venues.
