The Royal Park offers great views of London and the city; As well as housing the Royal Observatory which includes a museum of astronomical and navigational tools, part of the National Maritime Museum.

I love living in cities with a river and the Thames is so wide! It is one of my favorite things about London.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

Home to hundreds of stray cats and dogs. 

The Greenwich Observatory with its green laser beam can transfigure any night sky. If you decide to cross the Thames via the foot tunnel, make sure you look out for the green ray. You can be on one side of the meridian in a minute, and cross to the other side on the next, without even realising it.
