Excursion Royal greenwich on foot tour at London

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Greenwich brims with maritime, scientific, and royal history and in 2012 this leafy London suburb became the Royal Borough of Greenwich in recognition of the town's long and illustrious heritage as well as its royal association. This walking tour will introduce some of the key highlights.


Cutty Sark, Greenwich Market, St Alfege Cathedral

See the Cutty Sark, once the fastest ship in the world and today the world's sole surviving tea clipper. Walk past Greenwich Market - London's only historic market set within a World Heritage site - and admire St Alfege Church where Alfege, Archbishop of Canterbury, was killed in 1012 and where Henry VIII was baptized.


The Queen's House, National Maritime Museum, Old Royal Naval College

Admire The Queen's House - the first classical building in England - and the National Maritime Museum - the world's largest maritime museum - and finally the Old Royal Naval College - the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich and perhaps one of the most iconic landmarks of Royal Greenwich.


Your tour concludes back at the pier.
