HERITAGEMaritime Greenwich was inscribed as a World Heritage Site (WHS) by UNESCO in 1997, standing among the most important sites in the world,
alongside the Taj Mahal, Versailles and the historic centres of Venice, Florence and Bath.
The ensemble of buildings set in and around Greenwich Park, the oldest Royal Park in London and bordered to the north by the River Thames reads like a who’s who of British architecture.
Inigo Jones, Sir Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, Sir John Vanbrugh, and Joseph Kay all have important and beautiful examples of their work here, which together constitute the World Heritage Site.
When you visit the Royal Observatory you can stand astride the Prime Meridian – Longitude 0° – with one foot in the eastern hemisphere and
the other in the west and you can check your watch against Greenwich Mean Time.
Covering 74 hectares (183 acres) Greenwich is the oldest enclosed Royal Park and home to a small herd of Fallow and Red deer. Situated on top of a hill, visitors enjoy sweeping views across the River Thames to St Paul’s Cathedral and beyond.
The World Heritage Site is shown within the coloured border, illustrated on the map.
SPORT & LEISURECYCLING is allowed on roads and designated cycle paths only.
RUGBY & CRICKET are played at the south end of the park, close to Blackheath Gate. Pitches may be hired on request.
