About Greenwich Park

Covering 74 hectares (183 acres), Greenwich is the oldest Royal Park and home to a small herd of Fallow and Red deer. From the middle of the Park, you can enjoy some of the best views of London across the River Thames to St Paul's Cathedral and beyond. The Park is part of the Greenwich World Heritage Site and dividing the park in two is the famous Meridian Line – so, if you wish, you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere. You can also admire the dramatic architecture of The Royal Observatory, Old Royal Naval College, National Maritime Museum and the Queen’s House or get physical with a game of cricket, tennis or putting. The Park has a busy events calendar with jazz, opera, theatre and children’s activities all year round. Treat yourself at the end of the day at one of the many cafes and restaurants around the Park.

The park is open from 6.00am for pedestrians (and 7.00am for traffic) all year round. Closing times vary depending on the season.

Reviews of Greenwich Park

Visit London review of Greenwich Park

Reviewed by: Visit London
With magnificent views over London, Greenwich Park is the oldest and certainly one of the prettiest Royal Parks. At the top of the hill you'll find the Royal Observatory, home to the Prime Meridian Line, and London's only public planetarium. As well as being the perfect place for a picnic, here are several places to eat within the park. The Pavilion Tea House and the Observatory Café are particularly family friendly. There is a children's playground and boating pool, plus during the summer holidays regular puppet shows and other entertainment will keep the kids amused!
