Overlooking the River Thames and home to some of London’s most iconic views, Greenwich Park is an amazing mix of 17th century landscape, stunning gardens and a rich history that dates back to Roman times. Greenwich is the oldest enclosed Royal Park, 74 hectares (183 acres) in area, and is home to a small herd of deer. The park is part of Greenwich World Heritage Site, host to the Prime Meridian Line and the old Royal Observatory, and near the National Maritime Museum.
There are three cafés: The Tea Pavilion, with beautiful large gardens; St Mary's Gate Café (with a snack bar nearby in summer), near the National Maritime Museum; and The Honest Sausage - near the Royal Observatory. Cricket and tennis can be played.
In summer, a bandstand plays host to concerts and the children's playground offers entertainment.
Really nice park with lots of space for picnics and kite flying etc. You can also work your way up to the prime meridian. There are lots of paths and some are quite steep, but they'll reward your stroll to the top with amazing views of London's skyline. Some even say it has unrivaled views. Add it to your map ♥︎ and you'll have this summer hide-out close when you need it.
