Greenwich

Newest Review: ... minute journey from Central London. One of my favourite days out is to go to Greenwich park be it in the Summer or Winter. Greenwich Park is very special to me as it's the place I used to spend most of my time as a young girl. When you enter Greenwich Park from the entrance on Blackheath the first part of the park you will come to is the flower garden the gate to the garden is on the right just as you walk in the main gate. The flower Garden is fragrant and full of lovely flower beds as the name would suggest. It is also home to the lake which always has hungry ducks and geese waiting for children to come and feed them their endless supp... more

Greenwich is my home borough and the town of Greenwich is somewhere that I love to visit on a regular basis. Having grown up in the area I can honestly say that some of my best memories are held in Greenwich from being a little girl, teenager and now adult (ha ha sort of) So I thought it was only right that I write a review on Greenwich because I love it so much. So to start with some Greenwich facts, Greenwich is in South East London and is home to the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich Mean Time & the meridian line and the Royal Observatory. It is also home to the O2 formally the Millennium Dome (but we will keep that quiet), a royal Park ... Read the complete review

Greenwich is a beautiful area of London that is often over looked by tourists and Londoners. The area of Greenwich is steeped in history but it is also beautiful 'village' that feels like your out of London and in the country somewhere. Some of the interesting attractions include the Royal Observatory, with a new Planetarium that is now regularly full of school trips but is definitely worth a visit. There is also the Greenwich Meantime where clocks are set from with a red ball of a spire that moves at exactly 1pm, it is not the most dramatic sight so don't worry if you miss it. You shouldn't, however, miss the beautiful view from the top of Greenwich park of Canary ... Read the complete review

This is probably not the right place to put this op. but I've asked for a place to put it and received no answer, so I thought London to be the place for it to go for now. As this is where Greenwich is, even though this op is not about Greenwich itself. Can anyone see the point of British Summer Time? Every March we all put our clocks forward by 1 hr, what exactly for? It is called daylight saving! How on earth can you save daylight? If there are 12 hrs of daylight, there are 12 hrs of daylight, irrespective of what time you call it. All we are doing is shifting the daylight along by 1 hr of our time. I know years ago it was meant to have been ... Read the complete review

The Dome. There, I've said it. It's a sad fact that it's impossible to consider Greenwich as a place without first clambering over that mental obstacle, but in its defence the architecture is fab (especially lit up at night), and it provided a proper tube station for the area (North Greenwich), and...well...look, everyone makes mistakes. At least the 'Millennium Experience' part of it has gone now - with any luck, Ministry of Sound will buy it and turn it into one of the capital's biggest and best venues. Though I'm not holding my breath. There's a lot more to Greenwich than the aforementioned white elephant (which we will not ... Read the complete review
