| Walk Description: | Can’t contemplate walking all the way from Tower Hill to Greenwich, then begin with the best boat ride in London. Past The Tower, under Tower Bridge, towards Docklands. Three miles downstream, the Thames reveals: "the most stately procession of buildings in England." Welcome to Maritime Greenwich; Royal Greenwich; Meridian Greenwich, the home of time and centre of space; the Greenwich of bustling antique and flea markets. With plenty to see: Queen's House, Old Royal Observatory, Royal Naval College, the world's largest Maritime Museum, the Millennium Dome, and the Cutty Sark under restoration. |
