Greenwich Park is an outstanding place to visit. As well being of major historic importance and a World Heritage Site, the Park is also a Grade 1 listed landscape and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation - in short, a real haven for wildlife. Greenwich was the birthplace of Henry VIII who introduced deer to the park. His two daughters Mary I and Elizabeth I were also born here and his son Edward VI died in Greenwich before he reached his sixteenth birthday. In the early 1600's, the park was laid out in the French style with many trees planted, some of which remain today. James I gave the palace and the park to his wife Queen Anne, who commissioned Inigo Jones to design her a special home which became know as the Queen's House.

Greenwich Park covers approx 74 hectares (183 acres). and is the oldest enclosed Royal Park and home to a small herd of fallow and red deer. Situated on top of a hill, visitors enjoy sweeping views across the River Thames to St Paul's Cathedral and beyond. The park is part of the Greenwich World Heritage Site, host to the Prime Meridian Line and the old Royal Observatory, as well as having the National Maritime Museum as a neighbour.Greenwich Park has several historic buildings nearby including the Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen's House...Its also home to hundreds of squirrels who if you are lucky will let you feed them....by hand.!

Second home :) Couple of years in uni over there made me totally love the place!!! Greenwich park is the most amazing park I have ever seen in my life, believe me,it's way better than Hyde Park and has got not only lovely promenades but also historical and quite interesting sightseeing!!! Therefore, highly recommend it. Also plenty of places to eat and drink out - from typical student pubs/bars to Cafe Rouge.

Un gran parque en el Southbak de la ciudad, ideal para dar un paseo o pasar la tarde en su césped. Muy cerca encontramos el histórico observatorio de Greenwich, el Museo Naval o el Cutty Sark.

the village is of imp becoz of the geographical location , otherwise nothing much to do here other than lazing on the very green park or seeing the local ancient observatory.
