Parks & Nature
It has so much to offer. Take the 54 bus to Blackheath, enjoy the shops, bars cafes and restaurants, then stroll past the beautiful Church, across the heath and into the park. Take a right to see the deer, and wander the winding paths, before heading towards the Royal Observatory. Marvel at the breathtaking views over London from the belvedere, looking down onto the Royal Naval College, the Queen's house and the O2 (formerly the Millennium dome) You can also see Canary wharf, and even the London Eye from here. Then check out the Observatory, and stand on the meridian line, from which all work time is calibrated. Then it's a gentle stroll down through the park to Historic Greenwich itself.
