How to visit Greenwich from London by boat

When I first moved to London , a local friend suggested that I take a cruise along the River Thames for a day trip to Greenwich—a district of London and home to the Greenwich Meridian line marking 0° longitude, a beautiful park, museums, markets, and more. He said it is one of his favorite things to do with out-of-town guests.

This fun London itinerary idea stayed in the back of my mind until one day in the spring I decided it was time. My husband and I boarded a boat right next to Big Ben at the Westminster Pier on the River Thames. But this is not the only option for boarding. There are several hop-on locations along the river including at the London Eye Pier, the Tower Pier, and of course, the Greenwich Pier.

Boats depart at regular intervals throughout the day, which makes this trip particularly easy to fit into an itinerary whether we wanted to sleep in first, get back early for an afternoon tea or indulge in a long day of exploring Greenwich.

The ride from London to Greenwich, depending on where we departed from, would take between 30 to 45 minutes. Along the way we got to see London from a whole new perspective. From the river, we passed by the London Eye, The Tower Bridge, the mayor’s office, The Gherkin, The Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and more as we sailed through town. I found it was a rather unique way understand the layout of the city.

Viewfinder Tip: If short on time when visiting Greenwich from London by river cruise you can always consider returning to town by Tube.

The on-board guide chatted over the microphone, telling entertaining stories and detailing fascinating history of the city and the River Thames. And before I knew it, we were pulling up to the Greenwich Pier for a day of discovery on foot.

Stepping off the boat, we followed our noses wandering inland to see what we would find. We stumbled into the Greenwich Market, a World Heritage Site, and established in 1700 AD. It includes 40 antique stalls, a variety of food stands, art galleries, independent designer shops and a handful of spas where you can indulge in an aromatherapy massage or take home some handmade organic bath products.

There over the weekend, we were about to also experience the Clocktower Market right nearby—a small and manageable market in a picturesque square with lots of retro and vintage goodies. The market is renowned for the friendliness of its sellers and a peaceful, easy-going vibe. As I admired the flowery 70’s rompers, old leather suitcases, and gramophones, my husband grabbed an espresso at an outdoor booth.

Then we meandered back to Greenwich Market’s impressive food stalls known for their quality and variability. We were tempted by everything from dim sum, to Ethiopian cuisine, Argentinean empanadas, Brazilian churros and handmade chocolates! There were also plenty of homey pubs and sleek bars nearby where we could have whet our whistles, too. Ultimately, we chose a pair of delicious Mediterranean wraps with lamb and halloumi cheese.

After fueling up, it was on to Greenwich Park, home to the most fascinating bits of British history and the beginning of time itself. In fact, the complex of Greenwich that includes the Royal Observatory, the Maritime Museum and the Old Royal Naval College are listed as yet another World Heritage Site in Greenwich.

[viewfinder-gallery]

Sitting on a hill inside Greenwich Park, overlooking the River Thames is the Royal Observatory, which was the center of Britain’s research in astronomy and navigation right up to the 20 th century.

The Meridian Line passes through the park, dividing the world in two. I waited my turn to stand with one foot in the Western Hemisphere, and the other firmly planted in the Eastern. This line, the Prime meridian, serves as the base point from which all time zones worldwide are calculated. This attraction alone makes the whole trip worth it to me!

Next, we sat on the grass in the park along side many of the other park goers taking in the views. After a rest, we meandered down the expansive green lawns, back to town to the Old Royal Naval College. This structure is considered one of the finest architectural feats of Britain. And the exhibits inside take visitors through Britain’s history.

At this point it was getting close to the last cruise back to London. Had we started our day earlier we may have stuck around to catch a few of the remaining attractions. One of which, the Cutty Sark is the sole surviving tea clipper sailing ship. You can jump aboard the 19th century vessel and explore what life was like for the sailors who made tea runs to China.

There is also the National Maritime Museum with more than 2 million objects in the collection, from figureheads, opium pipes, and other “souvenirs” brought back by sailors.  There is also the quirky Fan Museum which has more than 4,000 antique and unusual fans from all over the world. And inside this museum, there is an orangery with painted murals where you can have afternoon tea looking out onto a Japanese garden. As you can see there is so much to do in Greenwich it really warrants a full day for exploring. And I’m sure glad I took my friend’s advice on this dynamic London day trip.

The gems of Greenwich Park – an iconic south east London landmark

Greenwich Park is an iconic landmark of south east London, being a popular spot for locals and tourists alike - especially now the sun is shining.

There is endless grass for people to settle down and picnic or sunbathe on and trees everywhere for people who prefer the shade.

But, there are so many other gems that set it apart from any other park in London.

Royal Greenwich Observatory

The Royal Observatory of Greenwich can be found in Greenwich Park and is a great museum with lots to do.

It has been standing for centuries and is home to one of the UK’s largest telescopes.

There is also a planetarium and lots of live science demonstrations for adults and children alike to enjoy.

The observatory is also home to a view point, showing visitors a breath-taking view of the park.

Greenwich Park Playground

Found near the edge of the park, this playground has been in place since the 1940s.

The playground sees more than 400,000 visitors each year and is suitable for children up to aged 12.

Some of its play equipment includes a basket swing, a roundabout, sand and water.

National Maritime Museum

The National Maritime Museum can be found near one of the entrances to Greenwich Park and is a favourite of families and visitors of the park.

There are lots of galleries and exhibitions visitors can find here and it even has an outdoor playground for children to explore.

A popular way to mark your visit is to take a photo next to the massive message in a bottle outside the museum.

Bridgerton filming locations

Bridgerton is one of the most popular TV shows on Netflix and you may not know that there are multiple filming locations in Greenwich.

There is the Rose Garden which was used for Bridgerton filming which is right next to Rangers House, also known as the Bridgerton family home.

At the other end of the park is Queen’s House, which is used as the setting for one of the many grand balls in the series.

You can boat in Greenwich park from April all the way through to October.

Renting a boat is a fun, romantic way to spend the day and see the park all wrapped into one.

Tennis Courts

Not far from Rangers House, you may stumble across some tennis courts.

If you are looking to enjoy some exercise and take in the beautiful setting then this is a great way to spend your weekend.

What is world oceans day.

World Oceans Day takes place on 8 June every year as a celebration of the ocean and our continuing reliance on it.

Over 70 per cent of our blue planet is covered in water, and more than half of all the oxygen we breathe comes from ocean plants. We rely on the ocean for food security, transportation, coastal defences and much more.

This year, our World Oceans Day activities are inspired by UNESCO's  seven principles of ocean literacy .

Ocean literacy is about understanding the impact the ocean has on our lives and wellbeing, and the effect we have on the ocean. We want to share how important the ocean is to help create a positive change. 

The principles focus on seven key areas:

  • Earth has one ocean with many features
  • The ocean and life in the ocean shape the features of Earth
  • The ocean is a major influence on weather and climate
  • The ocean makes Earth habitable
  • The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems
  • The ocean and humans are inextricably linked
  • The ocean is largely unexplored.

For more ocean inspiration, why not check out our host of  activities, resources and features  available online?
