Greenwich

Greenwich

Greenwich is about an hour boat ride from downtown London and is a great "day trip". The history of Greenwich is unimaginable. It holds the famous ship Cutty Sark, the Old Royal Naval College, the Painted Hall of the Old Royal Naval College, The Queen's House, and the Royal Observatory built by Christopher Wren.

Ready for a break from the sometimes hectic pace of London, we headed out to Greenwich. We rode the train out & returned by boat on the Thames. Greenwich is a lovely area w/ plenty to see & do. After viewing the old Cutty Sark tea clipper, our next stop was the Old Royal Naval College w/ it's Chapel & Painted Hall, each beautiful in it's own way. After a quick stop at the Trafalgar Tavern, we headed up to the Old Royal Observatory. En route, we came across a unique dolphin sundial w/ a cafe nearby for tea & scones. We then hiked up the hill to the Old Royal Observatory to see the rare electromagnetic 24 hour clock on which the International Time Zone is based & times around the world calculated. We also saw the Prime Meridian Line, which we straddled to enable us to stand in two hemispheres at one time. It was such a beautiful day. A perfect way to get away from London for awhile.
