Looking for a fantastic London day trip? Look no further than Greenwich!
Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most historic areas of London. It's also one of the greenest, with Greenwich Park and the River Thames providing fresh air and breathtaking city views.
There's so much here to see and do here, including historic ship Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory, the vintage shops and street food of Greenwich Market, plus the free National Maritime Museum and Queen's House.
Start your day with a boat trip down the Thames, and end it in a cosy riverside pub. Whenever you're ready to head home, it's just eight minutes back to London Bridge.
