Greenwich is a beautiful suburb of London with plenty of green space, museums, and fun shopping.
The Prime Meridian runs through the courtyard of the Royal Observatory dividing the eastern/western hemisphere. Here we are - in two places at once!
Inside the museum we learned all about navigation, time and telescopes. No photos were allowed inside, but it was truly a fascinating museum.
Another fascinating museum is the National Maritime Museum - only a short walk through the park. We enjoyed a lively tour with a costumed Neptune character and plenty of hands-on exhibits including a real maritime navigation simulator.
We ate lunch at the market - Italian, Portuguese, British and Ethiopian food and loved it all. A little shopping topped it all off before heading home to P'boro on the train.
