I’m also one of those people who loves walking in the rain. I visited today and it was a fantastic, pleasant day. The rain was moderate—not too heavy, not too light—making it really enjoyable to walk around, visit the observatory, and see the Roman ruins. I enjoyed it a lot !

Greenwich Park is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy nature in London. The park is large, green, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space for walking, picnicking, or just lying on the grass. One of the highlights is the stunning view over London, especially from the hill near the Royal Observatory. It’s a great spot to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for a peaceful break from the city. A must-visit when you’re in Greenwich.

Greenwich Park is undoubtedly one of the most iconic spots in London, where history meets the best views in the city. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers a perfect mix of vast green landscapes and world-class maritime history. Standing at the top of the hill by the Royal Observatory, I was absolutely mesmerized by the panoramic views of the Canary Wharf skyline and the River Thames. The park is the perfect place for a long walk or a quiet afternoon picnic. Exploring the Prime Meridian line and seeing the historic architecture of the Old Royal Naval College from above was a highlight of my trip. It is a rare spot where you can feel the city's modern energy while being surrounded by centuries of heritage. Top Tips for your visit: • The Viewpoint: Head straight to the statue of General Wolfe near the Royal Observatory for the most famous and Instagram-worthy shot of the London skyline. • The Prime Meridian: While there is a fee to go inside the Observatory, you can find a small section of the Meridian line nearby to stand in two hemispheres at once! • Maritime Greenwich: After enjoying the park, walk down to the Cutty Sark and the Greenwich Market for some amazing local food and crafts. • Getting There: The easiest way is via the DLR to Cutty Sark or taking a scenic Uber Boat (Thames Clippers) to Greenwich Pier. Greenwich Park is a must-visit for anyone who wants to see a different, more majestic side of London. It’s the perfect end to my exploration of this incredible city! 🌳🔭

I adore this park. It's absolutely divine in mid April when cherry blossoms are out and all other beautiful trees are blossoming.. it's like paradise!! I love its hills and lots of little surprise areas, I could spend all day here and not get tired. Just love love love it so much!! I'd rate it the best park in London.
