NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM
Following the National Maritime Museum's £20 million facelift, the 19th century Neptune courtyard has been covered over by a glass roof. The revamped museum is bright, airy and the whistling wind and fresh air make you feel like you're on deck. The various exhibitions in the galleys/galleries offer an interactive experience with heaving open hatchway doors, turning the ship's wheel and using Viking oars. Check out ancient uniforms, follow Admiral Nelson's sea-faring career, watch archive material of passenger ocean travel, discover what life was like in Britain's maritime heyday, and get involved in the All Hands exhibition. Wind down in the lush Global Garden - the glorious result of exotic seeds brought back by sailors. Admission is free.

ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE
Designed by Christopher Wren, this building was founded by William III as a hospital for the Royal Navy. The Painted Hall, decorated in the 18th century by James Thornhill, is particularly worth a visit. The grounds also include the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul in Queen Mary Court, its Rococo style restored in 1980. The Royal Naval College is found alongside the River Thames, within a few minutes walk of the picturesque Queen's house. One-hour guided tours are available for GBP5, GBP4 concessions.

CUTTY SARK
The Cutty Sark is the last surviving tall ship left in the world. Designed by Hercules Linton, the Cutty Sark was renowned throughout the seafaring world as one of the fastest ships of the period. After a colourful career, she was moved to a dry dock in Greenwich in December 1954. Officially opened in 1957 by Her Majesty the Queen, she's been visited by over 13 million people since. The number of 'the old lady's' admirers are bound to increase, as she remains a living testimony to a glorious bygone era of sail and Empire.

GREENWICH MARKET
It won its Royal Charter in 1700 and specialises in antique, collectables arts and crafts (Thur-Sun).

ROYAL OBSERVATORY GREENWICH
Founded in 1675 by Charles II to find out the 'so much desired longitude of places for perfecting the art of navigation' It is home to the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and Meridian Line. The Museum is a top Tourist attraction all year round.

GREENWICH ROYAL PARK
Covering 74 hectares (183 acres). Greenwich 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.

If it's the sea you enjoy then you can find out about Britain's long tradition as a sea faring nation at the National Maritime Museum. There are plenty of activities for all the family.

“safe area, warm and enough space for big family” safe area, warm, enough space for big family (7 people), very good technological equipment (except for the dish washer - didn't work), grocery shops available on foot, good connection to city (about 45min) - it would have been good to have had a second key to the property since we didn't always come home at the same time Response: Thank yoy for your review. I am sorry but I did not reales the dishwashing was no working, if you let us know during your stay, we would have had send someone into show you or amend it for you. Having said that, we have guests stay at the property now since the 3rd January and we have not heard of anything that is no working . Many thanks for chosen our holiday property. Regards Jih-Wen

“A basic but clean house, equipt with the required facilities” The owner of the property was hugely helpful with any questions we had. The location of the house was ideal for getting the bus to work in the morning, only a 5 min walk down the road where plenty of busses stopped. However, the house was situated 30-45 mins away from the London O2 arena which is quite far, if this is the reason you are in London. There are plenty of shops only a short walk down the road, where you can buy food and other essentials. The house was very clean and tidy. The kitchen was equipt with all the necessary utensils and facilities for cooking. This was great and enabled us to have some cooked meals. The beds were comfy with clean sheets provided. Two keys were provided for the house which made it easy for different groups of us to enter the house under our own accord. The wifi internet access was fast and hugely beneficial. The cost of the accomodation was cheep (major pulling factor), hence some of the following feedback is to be expected. The television in the lounge area was extremely small which was not great when we wanted to relax in the evening after work. The house was very basic, with only one bathroom which was not ideal with 5 people in the house. Also in terms of space available, there was plenty in the master bedroom and other single, but not in the third bedroom where there were two beds. However this was not a huge problem as there wasn't a great deal of luggage. The 5th bed is located in the lounge, which means that they must wait for everyone else to leave the lounge before they can go to sleep. I hope this feedback is helpful and thank the owner for all her help before, during and after our stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this home in Plumstead. It is a roomy 3 bedroom home with a backyard. It has a washer and dishwasher and gas stove.
The decor is very nice.The home was very clean and the owner was very helpful giving us lots of instructions via email before we arrived. It is only a few blocks from a bus stop at the bottom of the hill where there is an excellent pub with an outdoor garden. Further down the street are good Chinese and Indian restaurants and markets.

Clean, very well priced house and great facilitie. We stayed in this house during August, 6 adults. The house was very clean and tidy and had all the facilities we required. Shops are close by for essentials and the bus also just a short walk away. Free on street parking was helpful for the days we rented a car and explored outside London.

I would definitely recommend the house to friends and family. Great place!
