The area around Greenwich is rich in history and culture, ranging from the meridian line at the Royal Observatory to the Cutty Sark. There is also an abundance of green open spaces – The new Ecology Park, created by the Homes and Communities Agency, Greenwich Royal Park and Blackheath Common to name just a few.

The choice for shopaholics is vast. Colour and variety create an inviting atmosphere at Greenwich's market while Canary Wharf now has three shopping malls. With over 200 shops, restaurants, cafés and bars, it's now a real alternative to the West End for high street favourites and individual boutiques.
