Local information about Greenwich
Greenwich, in the London postcode of SE10 (and parts of SE3, SE7, SE8, SE13, SE18), is a historic maritime district in South East London, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Located on the south bank of the River Thames, between Deptford, Blackheath, and the Isle of Dogs, Greenwich has a population of approximately 30,000 and is famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Site, maritime history, and stunning architecture.
Greenwich is home to some of London's most significant historic architecture. The centrepiece is the Old Royal Naval College (a Sir Christopher Wren masterpiece, featuring the magnificent Painted Hall and the Chapel), the National Maritime Museum (the world's largest maritime museum), the Queen's House (a stunning Palladian villa designed by Inigo Jones), and the Royal Observatory (home of the Prime Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time). The area features elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses, particularly around Croom's Hill, Royal Hill, Stockwell Street, and the historic Greenwich Village conservation area. There are also charming converted Victorian warehouses near the Cutty Sark and the river, as well as a growing number of contemporary apartment buildings in the Greenwich Millennium Village and the Royal Arsenal Riverside development (on the border with Woolwich).
