Greenwich

Making the Most of Your Time

Set apart from the rest of London, Greenwich is worth a day to itself—those who love maritime history will want to spend at least two—to make the most of walks in the rolling parklands and to immerse yourself in the richness of Greenwich's history, science, and architecture. The boat trip takes about an hour from Westminster Pier (next to Big Ben), or 25 minutes from the Tower of London, so factor in enough time for the round-trip.
