And about time to! I've been banging on about this for years and now the rest of the world has finally caught up!! Greenwich has made the top 10 global places to visit in the Frommer's travel guide. Yes we have the Mean Time and the Meridian Line, great museums and places of interest. Totally geared for tourism with the O2 and Greenwich town centre. We have overground, Underground, DLR, river boat, easy access to the City Airport. Next year we are hosting a chunk of the 2012 Olympics and the whole world will be watching. We are getting a new station in the form of Crossrail, and I think I heard there might be a new port built for luxury cruisers to dock.
When the rest of the world is going down hill, things are looking bright for Greenwich. A great opportunity to show the world what Greenwich is all about next year for the Olympics/Paralympics and to bounce off that we have the London Marathon starting in Greenwich Park every year. Everyone has heard of us!! Greenwich is the place to visit and spend your money!
Get to the new Sammy Ofer Wing in the National Maritime Museum, and then to the Fan Museum in Crooms Hill, then to the Royal Observatory and state-of-the-art lazer show in the Planetarium, followed by a night at Greenwich Theatre or the O2. And soon to return - the famous tea clipper the Cutty Sark and the redesigned Cutty Sark Gardens and the revamped Greenwich Pier. The foot tunnels in Greenwich and Woolwich under the river Thames are getting a face life.
I think you'll be spoilt for choice! You could easily spend two weeks in Greenwich and leave feeling you haven't seen it all! The O2 was voted the worlds most popular music venue for the forth year. The Thames Barrier should be one of the wonders of the world!!
Come on - don't go abroad on holiday next year - come to Greenwich!! If its on your doorstep then you've got no excuse. For a taster have a look at one of my virtual tour websites www.virtual-greenwich.net .
