Greenwich Palace & Park

Greenwich Palace & Park (South-East London) - King Henry V

Greenwich is an area rich in history; it began as a Saxon village, there has been a church based at the same location for over a thousand years and it was St Alfege, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was martyred there after being abducted by Vikings in 1012. 

King Henry V’s brother, the Duke of Gloucester, built Greenwich Palace in 1443 - and Greenwich Park (183 acres of land) boasts stunning gardens with a 17th century landscape. Today Greenwich is famous for its National Maritime Museum.

Nearest underground is North Greenwich - which is on the Jubilee line.

Riverboat services sail from Westminster, Embankment, London Bridge City and Canary Wharf. Greenwich is in zones 2 and 3 of the London travel zones.
