In The Know
Did You Know?
Greenwich (pronounced Gren-itch) lies some 10km (6 miles) east of the centre of London. You can get there by train from London Bridge or on the Dockland Light Railway (DLR) direct. But why not take a boat to arrive the traditional way, or perhaps the DLR to Island Gardens, directly opposite Greenwich. From here you can enjoy a river view that has changed little in centuries, then simply walk under the Thames via the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.
Though suffering from heavy traffic and summer crowds, Greenwich retains something of a village atmosphere with lots of interesting small shops, a throbbing market, an abundance of historic attractions and one of London's finest parks. Greenwich is also the site of the Millennium Dome, the focal point of Britain's millennium celebrations.
