The National Maritime Museum covers a large area which may be difficult to see in depth during one visit. Able-bodied visitors are advised to allow at least an hour for each site.

The Royal Observatory, Greenwich is at the top of a hill and some groups visit this first to save an exhausting climb at the end of the day.
