Today we had a really full and most enjoyable day out at Greenwich. First, we decided to take the scenic route, and went to Tower Pier, next to the Tower of London, and then took the “Thames Clipper”, a fast hydrofoil type boat to Greenwich. There we visited the naval museum, the Royal Observatory (with the world famous longitude 0 degrees time line), and then the Queens House which houses a maginificent collection of art galleries, dating from Tudor right up to modern times.

We then returned by the “Clipper” to Tower Pier, and after a leisurely walk around the surrounding area, finished off a great day by eating outside a restaurant in St. Katherine’s Docks, with its’ nautical views.
