Background to Greenwich Park
Greenwich Park covers 73 hectares (183 acres) and is the oldest enclosed Royal Park. It is situated on a hilltop with impressive views across the River Thames to the Docklands and the City of London, between Blackheath and the River Thames.
Greenwich Park provides a setting for several historic buildings, including the Royal Observatory, the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen's House.
The park has been open to the public since the early 19th century and attracts visitors from far and wide to enjoy the views, the open spaces and the variety of its trees and flower gardens.
Today the park is part of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site.
