The area is lovely. The "village" of Greenwich is picturesque even if it is in the middle of London. The park is as british parks are. Wide and good for strolling around. The attractions in the park are easy to get to and if you go there for seeing the meridian line you have two options.
One: Visit the observatory...

Greenwich was a surprise for me. We did go there by boat, and that already was excellent, But Greenwich itself was very nice to see and experience

This was not originally on our plans, but some friends suggested it and we're so glad they did. We took a river cruise from Westminster to Greenwich and saw just about every important landmark along the way. The park offers a great view overlooking London and the town has cute shops and restaurants, including the Trafalgar Inn - touristy but...

Went to Greenwich for the first time in many years. The Cutty Sark seems to be well refurbished and you can see some of it without paying the entry fee. It now dominates Cutty Sark Gardens. But what has happened to Gypsy Moth IV? It used to be good to see the contrast in size of the two vessels. Shops...

Fantastic place with wonderful park. Nearby restaurants, Naval College & University always reminds you of meridian past of Greenwich. Cutty Sark rebuilt nearby. Wonderful space & place to have family picnics. Lovely surrounding with oak trees & view of Canary Wharf.

The traffic really needs to be diverted from the main shopping area. It is grim and not at all pedestrian friendly.

I wanted to visit the old naval college as my father was an officer in the Royal Navy in the sixties and had told me about his mess dinners in the painted hall. What a spectacular building. It is just beautiful. My Dad died 4 years ago but it was lovely to walk where he walked as a young man...

There are so many places to go in Greenwich and so much to see - I'm not even a full day is long enough. The park has gorgeous views over London and there is also the observatory to visit, deer enclosure, rose garden etc. You can stand on the meridian line, visit the museum, explore the Cutty Sark and at...
