What

What does the tour involve?

Greenwich is the home of Time. You can stand on the world’s Prime Meridian with one foot in the East, and one in the West. It is just a wonderful half hour boat ride down the Thames. The world changed because of Greenwich. Time was harnessed to measure distance, and you learn that from the best view of London up on the Royal Observatory. It is a lovely town housing six museums, stunning, historic architecture, often the backdrop to films like Bridgerton and The Crown. You can explore a wonderful range of shops, markets and places to eat. So many connections to Britain’s great maritime history can be found here that it has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.
