Over
Korte feiten: Dit rustige park volgt de route van een voormalige spoorlijn die Greenwich ooit met de Theems verbond. De naam is afgeleid van de Greenwich-meridiaan die dwars door het park loopt, gemarkeerd met een subtiele messing strook in de bestrating.
Hoogtepunten: Een messing meridiaanlijn slingert zich door de paden van het park, zodat je letterlijk met één voet op het oostelijk halfrond en de andere op het westelijk halfrond staat. Lokale joggers en hondenuitlaters behandelen het als een gewoon onderdeel van het trottoir en laten zich volledig onberoerd door het feit dat ze tijdens hun ochtendroutine over een planetaire scheidslijn stappen.
Insidertips
- Enter from the Greenwich Park end near the Royal Observatory to walk downhill toward the Thames views.
- The meridian line marker is easiest to spot near the park's southern entrance where the brass strip crosses the main path.
- Combine this with a visit to the nearby Greenwich Market and the Cutty Sark for a full half-day outing.
- Bring binoculars to spot the O2 Arena and Canary Wharf skyline from the northern viewpoints.
