Greenwich Tours and Tickets

Q: How can I spend a day in Greenwich?

Start your day with a morning visit to the attractions attached to the National Maritime Museum, including the Old Royal Naval College. Later in the day, head to Greenwich Park and experience the activities offered at the Royal Observatory.

Q: Is Greenwich worth visiting?

Yes, it is worth visiting while in London, whether you’re interested in history or a view of the London skyline. All-ages attractions appear throughout the borough. You can learn about science at the Royal Observatory, visit the Cutty Sark sailing ship, or relax in Greenwich Park.

Q: What is Greenwich famous for?

It is famous for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the local time at the Royal Observatory. It's the basis for time across the UK, and time zones relate to when the sun crosses the Prime Meridian here. It's also known for Greenwich Park and its Royal Observatory.

Q: What day is Greenwich market on?

The market is open daily, except for certain public holidays and Mondays early in the year. While the market is open daily, some sections of the market, such as Arts and Crafts and Antiques, aren't always open, so it’s best to check ahead before your visit.

Q: Is Greenwich walkable?

Yes, Greenwich is a walkable area for tourists. Getting between attractions such as the Prime Meridian marker and the Cutty Sark museum ship only takes around 10 minutes by foot. The only set of attractions that are not easily reachable on foot are those at the O2 Arena.

Q: What attractions can be found in Greenwich?

The area is not a large London borough, and Greenwich tickets are unnecessary, but it is home to several popular tourist attractions. Greenwich tours usually include a visit to the National Maritime Museum to see exhibits on the UK’s maritime history, the Queen’s House to peek inside the former royal residence, and Greenwich Park for its London views.

Great boat trip

I thought this was going to be a quiet ride out to Greenwich. The boat captain had other ideas. He pointed out every pub along the way that was a good place to eat. Who lives where and how to get back. Definitely will do again.

It was a great tour going to Greenwich. The tour guide was informative and very funny, made the experience very entertaining. The trip back didn't include the tour guide unfortunately, it was a pre-recorded audio guide, so not as entertaining. But we will do this again with other family members.

London

Know before you go

Greenwich is a lovely spot for London-goers looking for a break from the big city, offering a mix of history, culture, and scenic views along the London River.
Plan to spend at least a half-day or a full day exploring the area if you want to take in all the sights, including the world-famous Royal Observatory and Greenwich Market.
Wear comfortable shoes to explore on foot—it’s full of hills, cobblestone streets, and steps. Be sure to bring your appetite for some delicious London food found at local markets and eateries.
If you plan to visit during peak times, it’s wise to book tickets in advance for popular attractions like the Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark to avoid long lines.
The Royal Observatory and many of the other attractions in the Prime Meridian location are wheelchair accessible.
