Greenwich

Last updated 24/10/2017


	Greenwich is most famous for being the point from which latitude is measured and Greenwich Mean Time (now Universal C Time) is measured.
	It also has the Cutty Sark, The Millennium Dome, Royal Naval Hospital and Greenwich Park where the London Marathon starts
	My friend Mike Dryland has an excellent website of places in the area. Click on his pictures for more information about the areas shown
