Ferry to Greenwich

The ferry from the city to Greenwich is a great way to see London's landscape at a different pace.  We wandered through Greenwich Park had lunch at a Jamie Oliver Italian restaurant and enjoyed the Cutty Sark exhibit which allows you to explore its history up close.



The Royal Observatory on top of a hill in Greenwich Park


The Prime Meridian line made in 1884 to mark East and West on the globe.


The Old Royal Naval College built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1692 as a Naval hospital then converted to a College in 1869.

The Cutty Sark the last of the clipper ships to sail between China and England in the 19th C

The hull of the Cutty Sark

Love the figure heads which usually indicated the name of the ship
