Greenwich

Greenwich is perhaps best known for its Greenwich Mean Time and as the centre of world time. The Royal Observatory is where the Greenwich Meridian Line is located that divides East and West and this attracts many visitors from around the world every year.

Greenwich has evidence of Roman settlements, Iron-Age dwellings, and over the centuries has been influenced by Royalty and invasions, with which it still has strong links to both the army and navy today. The current Greenwich was formed in 1965 when the former boroughs of Greenwich and Woolwich were joined together and is home to over 228,100 residents.

Greenwich is one of five host boroughs for the 2012 London Olympics with events due to be held at the Royal Artillery Barracks (Shooting), Greenwich Park (Equestrianism) and The O2 - former Millennium Dome (Gymnastics; Basketball). Greenwich is also home to the League 1 football club Charlton Athletic.

There are however many other tourist attractions, sights and places to visit in Greenwich. These include: Greenwich Park, the O2 Arena, the Royal Greenwich Observatory and Cutty Sark.

The famous Cutty Sark, one of London's most popular attractions, can be found on the waterfront and this historic ship and last of the great tea clippers is currently undergoing a major refurbishment.

The National Maritime Museum is home to the world's largest maritime historical reference library, as well as a wealth of nautical exhibits and artefacts, and makes for a fascinating visit.

With plenty of tourist attractions, the waterfront location and the great sense of history, Greenwich is well worth a visit.
