City Unscripted Private and Personalised tour of Greenwich

See Greenwich by boat

Greenwich is not only the home of Greenwich Mean Time, it’s a lovely London neighbourhood with a rich nautical heritage – maybe the most fascinating in the country.

Begin your tour fittingly by seeing Greenwich by boat with a cruise on the Thames – passing the Royal Observatory, home of the prime meridian line, as well as the Old Royal Naval College. Visit Greenwich Park, with stunning views of London and lined with pretty walnut trees and fountains. 

You can also see Cutty Sark, once the world’s fastest ship, now beautifully restored and docked beside the Thames. Imagine what life was like as a man of the sea as you wander beneath its decks. 

Greenwich Market

Greenwich’s legendary market is not to be missed. Stroll beside the beautiful river Thames and feel as if you’re back in the 1800s as your guide leads you through the local lanes, past picturesque market stalls. There’s plenty of time for browsing the antiques on offer or to admire some local crafts, including items that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

A very British lunch or a coffee and cake

End your tour your way – with a relaxing meal in a pub bordering beautiful Greenwich Park, visit one of London’s oldest pie and mash shops, or stop for a coffee and cake at one of Greenwich’s quaint cafés– the choice is yours! Whatever you decide, your guide will help you avoid the tourist traps and discover the hidden gems of this fantastic part of London
