Greenwich is where hemispheres meet and royal heritage combines with contemporary architecture.

It's home to a World Heritage Site, The O2 arena, Britain's only urban cable car, one of London's prettiest royal parks and the Prime Meridian of the World – longitude zero.

You can get here in 20 minutes by Docklands Light Railway and wander through Greenwich Park to the Royal Observatory and the Planetarium, or fly 90m high on the Emirates Air Line into a world class show at The O2 arena.

There is also the baroque artistry in the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College, designer-maker arts and crafts in Greenwich Market, and the conserved Cutty Sark, the fastest ship of her age.

Explore Britain's momentous naval history at the National Maritime Museum and enjoy the views in a riverside pub.
