The surrounding areas of Blackheath and Greenwich are steeped in history and charm.

Blackheath: A wide-open heath that’s both scenic and historically significant. It’s said to have been named after the “Black Death” of the 14th century, as it may have been a burial site during the plague. Today, it’s a beautiful green space, ideal for a peaceful stroll or a picnic with panoramic views.

The National Maritime Museum: A must-see for history lovers, showcasing Britain’s seafaring past with fascinating exhibits.

The Cutty Sark: Visit this iconic 19th-century tea clipper, perfectly preserved by the riverside.

The River Thames and Greenwich Pubs

Greenwich’s connection to the Thames is central to its character. Stroll along the riverfront and take in stunning views of Canary Wharf and the Docklands. Be sure to stop at The Trafalgar Tavern, a historic riverside pub dating back to 1837, famously frequented by Charles Dickens. Nearby, The Ship Tavern offers another traditional pub experience, perfect for a relaxed drink after a day of exploring. The Cutty Sark window seat overlooking the Thames is a prime spot for a Sunday afternoon. You imagine the sailors who must've drank in there in the past, a sense of history is alive.
