Greenwich Park

Description

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 Park has something for everyone. Stand on the Prime Meridian, the reference point for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Follow in the footsteps of England’s kings and queens with a walk through ancient tree avenues . Visit the tranquil Flower, Herb and Rose Gardens , explore the Park’s wildlife or enjoy a snack at the Pavilion Café.

What to see

  • Greenwich Park is one of the Royal Parks, an iconic grassland enclosure covering almost 183 acres which serves as a sanctuary for deer, foxes and birds. It's a lovely place for a family ramble particularly for nature lovers, so it's also a great idea to take along bird and bug books so you can identify what you're finding, and binoculars so you can find even more!
  • As well as The Observatory and Planetarium (both of which can be explored by appointment) they also offer a bandstand, a nicely equipped children's adventure playground and entertainment such as puppet shows and workshops during summer school holidays, excluding Sundays. A particularly popular one is Moths and Minibeasts, which carries a small charge but is well worth it.
  • There are numerous refreshment points and full facilities including disabled access too so it's not exactly into the wild, but has that same sort of feel once you're out there. Groups and schools can enjoy the facilities at the Secret Garden Wildlife Centretoo!
