View from the Top of Greenwich
I missed these last photos of the view from the top of Greenwich. The walk up was beautiful, the paths were covered by large trees and the lawns were perfectly manicured. The hill was fairly steep but the view was worth it. At the top there is a planetarium and astronomy centre. The buildings are stunning, and some are free to explore. We walked through the Royal Observatory and up to the telescope. Originally, our plan was to see the Meridan Line but that section was not free. You can catch a glimpse of it from outside the gates though. There is a lot to see at the top of the…

Fall Colours in Greenwich
As we walked back down the hill we saw the beautiful fall colours in Greenwich. We walked through the beautiful Greenwich park, following the sounds of live music, and ended up on the other side of the hill. The music ended up being a festival, unfortunately, so we just continued down the hill. I love how old the buildings are in London, each one has a personality, it’s gorgeous. This is the perfect place to go on a nice day, the park is huge and the view from the top is incredible. For more information on Greenwich, click here.

University of Greenwich
The second stop on our day in Greenwich was the University of Greenwich. The Old Royal Naval College is the birthplace of King Henry VIII, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I. This gorgeous campus sits along the Thames with long roads and perfectly manicured lawns.

The campus made a huge impression on my friend and I, and if we had more time we would have explored the campus further. The best part by far was the painted hall. It is “recognized as the greatest piece of decorative painting…

Greenwich Vintage Markets
I took my first trip to Greenwich a few weeks ago and found these wonderful vintage markets. Greenwich is one of my favourite places in London. I spent the day there with a friend and we were nerding out the whole time. The first thing we did was explore the beautiful old church in the middle of town. Then we stumbled upon these tiny vintage markets filled with knick knacks, books, jewelry and more. We found some incredible things, and it’s probably best that I have no money or this would have been dangerous. Over the next few days I will post more from our Greenwich adventure.
