👍 This is a beautifully kept Urban park adjacent to well way marked ancient forestry. Great for a walk at the end of the Elizabeth line in Abbey Wood. Stunning views across to London/Canary Wharf. Well maintained Abbey ruins in a beautiful setting.

Statue of General James Wolfe

Sculpture

👍👍 Great viewpoint over London! 🏙🌇🌆🌃 Really recommend the short hike up, one of my favourite views of London. Many benches to chill and relax, perfect on a sunny day! Never been up at night time, but must be also impressive.

Greenwich Foot Tunnel South

Historical landmark

😐 It was a wonderful experience to use this tunnel to walk under the water to Island Gardens once in a lifetime. It’s okay to walk along the path but it was a bit narrow. If you have children, you need to bear in mind there’s usually some bikes riding through. Sometimes the lifts broken down, you hav...

The Ferry House Pub

Pub

👍👍 The oldest pub on the Isle of Dogs just discovered recently & been in the area so long 🤦🏽‍♀️ Different zones to be seated near the bar, in the reading zone, or out on the terrace. Definitely will return. Highly recommend. Plenty of breezes, lots of open windows. Quirky decor and 17th-century grade...

SS Great Eastern's Launch Ramp

Historical landmark

😐 The remains of the SS Great Eastern’s launch ramp. The ship was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to carry passengers and cargo between England and Australia. It was launched in 1858. The SS Great Eastern was the largest ship in the world at that time and it was constructed almost entirely of meta...

Queen Elizabeth I Oak

Historical landmark

👍 This huge oak tree dates back to the 12th century and has a strong link to the Tudor Royal Family. According to legend, King Henry VIII once danced around this oak tree with Anne Boleyn, and Queen Elizabeth I was said to have often taken refreshment whilst relaxing in its shade. The tree itself is...

Bexleyheath Clock Tower

Historical landmark

👍 Fanciful and swank, the focal point of the shopping precinct and bus terminus. Commemorating the ascension of George V in 1911. Busts of George V, William Morris and Queen Elizabeth II settled in three of the four compass niches. Typical civic architecture exuding confidence and bravura at the high...

Lewisham Clock Tower

Historical landmark

👍👍 Beautiful architecture, very significant symbol in Lewisham. Most importantly, the clock still works.

4.10 (114 reviews) (~8.31 km from centre)

Equitable House

Historical landmark

😠 AVOID!!!! This review is for the hotel which is part of this building called simple stay/London city view. Believe every single bad comment they have on google reviews under simple stay or London city view because probably 80% of them are true because we did experience every one of them. Unfortunate...

3.90 (61 reviews) (~4.22 km from centre)

Robin Hood Gardens

Historical landmark

👍 An example of brutalist socialised housing. Interesting to look at and there was a long hard fight over getting the buildings listed but probably horrible to live in. They’re about to be demolished so if you want to see them visit soon.

3.70 (137 reviews) (~9.73 km from centre)
