Greenwich and Docklands Tour
Greenwich, home to the Royal Observatory, the Prime Meridian where time starts and ends, is linked to the seven seas by the former naval college and the famous Cutty Sark clipper ship. The Docklands have a rich history of trade, once the biggest port in the world, its decline was reversed and the area reinvented in the 1980s; it mixes historic wharehouse architecture with cutting edge urban development.
London’s central connection to the Thames and river trade is explored in this tour of its two most famous nautically linked districts. From the Millenium Dome to 1 Canada Square, Britain’s tallest building, and the massive new projects for the 2012 Olympic Games. See London’s biggest docks from a bird’s-eye view and walk under the Thames! Walk through atmospheric Dickensian London and ride the Docklands Light Rail through 21st century London for a fascinating look at London on the water.
