Greenwich is the one London district whose name resonates around
the world. As 'the place where time began', everyone has heard of
it, so naturally everyone wants to come here when they visit the
capital. With a memorable and picturesque Thames-side location, its
maritime history means that there's more to see here per square
foot than any other outer London neighbourhood, and this new guide
tells you how to do it. 111 Places not only tracks down the most
interesting nuggets among Greenwich's mainstream sights, from the
Cutty Sark to the Meridian Line, it also lifts the lid on the
area's lesser-known attractions - from haunted Jacobean houses and
mudlarking in Deptford Creek to classic pie and mash shops and
famous riverside pubs. It explores beyond the confines of Greenwich
town centre, turning up treasures like Henry VIII's favourite
residence, Eltham Palace - now an Art Deco gem - and nearby
engineering feats like the Thames Barrier. You could come to London
and spend half your time in Greenwich, and we wouldn't blame you if
you did. This book tells you how to make the most of London's
maritime borough.
