Love the flower garden , the deer enclosure ,and the park enclosure that's by Macartney's house,and the hilly areas at the top where you can read a book or have a picnic with a view when not too crowded

Tim O'Donovan

I love this park . Great place for dog walkers, the boating lake is a particular favourite spot of my dogs. A variety of areas provide you with a different experience. Fantastic views of the city .

Charles Bosher

Picnic in the flower gardens if with kids. Only buy ice cream on a hot day if you are willing to queue for an hour. Check out the Deer (hidden away but lovely). Observatory for best view in London.

Julia Kate

Stunning park . Check out the views from the top of the hill nearest maze hill gate entrance. Stunning. For great photography or chilled yoga sesh go at 8pm n enjoy till 930 in summer :)

Favourite place in London! Such a beautiful park , must visit! Make sure to find the hidden flower garden in the middle of the park and the deer enclosure on the Blackheath side of the park !

Jacques

The views across London are stunning. Very romantic setting ; perfect for a picnic ; before a stroll downhill to visit the Cutty Sark

Carl Griffin

Stunning views from the top. Great place to enjoy a picnic with the family.

Gabe X J Sherliker

Amazing views of the London skyline. Points of interest include the Elizabeth Oak, the Royal Observatory etc; unparalleled London park , close to a variety of unique spots in Greenwich and Blackheath .

Lee Hart

just east of the city of london, this park is beautiful, with Greenwich village a lovely way to spend the afternoon. you can get the clipper boat service here for a different way to travel.

Nilson Rogério

Besides the science and history going on at busy Greenwich observatory and naval museums at all, there's even a romantic view of East London to be shared by two in-loves.

Amazing Food And Travel

Lovely big park with city views at the top of the hill . Has a small boating lake and rose garden . Get's pretty busy with diverse groups in warmer months.

Jason Hirst

What's not to like!!!!! Big, green, not tooooooo many tourists , cafe reasonably priced and all a stones throw away from Greenwich itself!

HeyTripster

You can see some of London’s iconic sights from here. With its landscape that hasn’t changed since the 17th century, Greenwich Park takes you back in time to the Roman period. Read more

Emily's favourite place, possibly ever. The views from the top of the hill are amazing. The atmosphere in summer is great. Perfect for exploring, picnics or ball games with friends.

Ivar

One of the most beautiful parks in London . Climb up to the hill and have a great view over Canary Wharf skyscrapers and the City of London.

David Davidson

A big park with a lot of interesting spots/heritage to see in. A little bit like an open air museum . You can't play with the deer, but you can find VERY friendly squirrels out there.

Jose Lopez

Huge park , to run, to have a bite, and spend time with friends, family and your dog !! Plus the royal observatory and maritime museum are within the park .

Jodi

The Greenwich Spanish Sweet Chestnut , one of the Great Trees of London, is in the Flower Garden . Take the right fork, follow the path and the tree is on the left hand side.

Julia Kate

Excellent park for training . Hit the stairs on maze hill side for sprint training , run down the slope for active recovery. Less hectic/interrupted runs & or picnics as the park opens or closes. ????

Anousheh T

One of the most beautiful parks in London , a must seen. Absolute fantastic view from One Tree Hill Point. There are so many different scenes to enjoy here.

Sina Yilankaya

It would be reccommended to visit the museums and take a photo of The Prime Meridian if you can have a chance inspite of the crowd.

Julius Truelove

If you’re looking for a place with fascinating views of London , this park is perfect for this! Just go up the hill , and you won’t regret it!

New York Habitat

Home to the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory , this park is a must-see! Stand on the Prime Meridian, enjoy the panoramic views and relax in the shade under ancient chestnut trees .

Mamboe29

Great place to visit. Be there at 1pm UK time to see the 'ball fall' at exactly 1pm. Walk back thru the tunnel under the Thames. A well hidden secret but fun to do, also with kids!

Rafa A

If you need a stress-buster Friday jazz evenings at the Pavilion cafe is just the thing you need. Live jazz trio, BBQ and great outdoor space for kids.

Nas Jackson

Went here yesterday and a man dressed as a goat approached us and asked us to do the exact opposite of what he said. We ended up purchasing many magical Spaniel pups I'm afraid, covered in samphire

Jodi

The Greenwich Park Shagbark Hickory , one of the Great Trees of London, is located in the Flower Garden . The tree is straight ahead when the path forks, between the two routes.

Thomas Pajor

Love the park . It has some amazing views over East London. Also, the meridian laser coming from the obervatory is pretty cool at night.

Lovely park , good for walking, relaxing and chilling out

Alan Turner

Previously a wonderful, open, green space. Sadly, today, it's an Olympian bomb site. I trust there are funds left to restore the Park to its former glory.

Richard Matthews

The best park in London , in my opinion. On a hill with an epic view , great trees and parks and borders the open space of Blackheath Common. Hard to believe it's in London sometimes.

Alistair

The most amazing views over the Isle of Dogs. Always a quiet tree to sit under despite being a busy park .
