🚢 A fully inclusive private day tour. Your guide meets you at your hotel and travels with you to Greenwich by tube or by boat along the Thames — whichever you prefer. All entry fees included. Six unhurried hours in London’s most remarkable neighbourhood.
London’s Best Kept Secret
Most tourists never make it to Greenwich — most Londoners will tell you it’s the finest place in the city
Greenwich lies to the east of central London and is, quite simply, one of the most extraordinary places in the world. The Prime Meridian of the entire planet passes through it. The time by which every clock on Earth is ultimately set was calculated here. Isaac Newton worked here. The greatest naval power in history was headquartered here. And it is home to some of the most beautiful buildings, the finest views and the most magnificent interiors anywhere in London — yet most tourists never make it this far.
This private guided tour spends a full six hours exploring everything Greenwich has to offer — at your own entirely unhurried pace, with your guide’s knowledge bringing every building and every story to life. Travel by tube or, if you prefer, by river boat along the Thames — one of the great London experiences in itself.
The Royal Observatory — home of Greenwich Mean Time and some of the finest views in London
The view from Greenwich Hill — one of the finest panoramas in all of London
The Painted Hall — one of the most breathtaking interiors in England
The Cutty Sark — fully restored and more magnificent than ever
A Village, a Palace & the Home of Time Itself
Six hours isn’t long enough — but it’s a magnificent start
Beyond the great landmarks, Greenwich is also simply a beautiful place to spend a day. The market offers wonderful street food and bohemian clothing. The streets and squares of the old town are genuinely lovely. And there is a Royal Palace to see as well — because naturally, Greenwich wouldn’t be Greenwich without a royal connection.
For naval history enthusiasts, the Naval Museum alongside the Royal Naval College adds yet another extraordinary layer. Greenwich is one of those rare places where world history, scientific history, naval history, royal history and everyday London life all converge in a single, beautiful, endlessly fascinating location.
🚢 Travel by river boat along the Thames for an extra-special approach — arriving at Greenwich by water, as countless sailors and monarchs did before you, is an experience in itself.

“Greenwich is mostly forgotten by most tourists — which is a shame, as most Londoners will tell you it is the place to go. Six private hours in the most extraordinary village in London.”
