👍👍 I still don't understand why this place is so UNKNOWN for most people coming to the UK. This is the Great Britain's Sistine Chapel and it was empty. I believe most tourists don't have a clue about its existence. That's a shame. This place is marvelous. It's huge. And above all, it is a true masterpi...

    I still don't understand why this place is so UNKNOWN for most people coming to the UK. This is the Great Britain's Sistine Chapel and it was empty. I believe most tourists don't have a clue about its existence. That's a shame. This place is marvelous. It's huge. And above all, it is a true masterpiece. Besides, the audio guide allows you to fully understand the meaning of it and all the hidden messages in it. I loved it!!!

    Beautiful gardens set on this significant historical site of the Old Royal Naval College. Set upon the river, the grounds are vast with plenty of green lawns and beautiful paths. Scenic views of the Old Royal Naval College buildings which are part of the local heritage. Very relaxing and scenic

    The Royal Naval college / Greenwich University Campus has fantastic historic buildings and grounds which are also used to hold concerts and during a number of movie sets. The painted hall is such a beautiful and magnificent building and definitely worth a visit, you can spend a long time looking up at the ceiling at the intricate paintings. Tours of the venue are also available and may include the old wooden bowling alley!

    Historic Greenwich. Do the London Walks tour of this area. Leaves from tower hill tube and takes the river cruise there.

    Gorgeous university campus and buildings with a lovely view of the London skyline by the river 🌆⛼. The view is perfection. I love this part of London, it feels completely separated from the rest of the city and has a small town feel. Great to walk around and explore on a sunny day as it has so much history.

    Nice place to walk- even better to visit the Painted Hall, especially now when you can get close to the ceiling and have a good look. Tours cost £10 but are very well worth the visit.

    We were here at Mile 6 of the London Marathon 2018. For 37 years my family have helped 'run' the water station outside Greenwich baths. This was our last time. Remembering with love 💙 Mick Courtney Alan Courtney John Courtney Philip Courtney RIP
