Lonely Planet review of Greenwich Park

Reviewed by: Lonely Planet

One of London's largest and loveliest parks, with a grand avenue, wide-open spaces, a rose garden and impressive views across the River Thames to the Docklands from atop the hill. Covering a full 74ha, it is partly the work of Le Nôtre, who landscaped the palace gardens of Versailles for Louis XIV. It contains several historic sights, a teahouse, a café and the Wilderness - a deer park in the southeast corner.
