Greenwich • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to Greenwich, a place where the air still carries the spirit of sailing ships and royal intrigue. As you stand here in the heart of this United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site, you are surrounded by an incredible concentration of history that earned its prestigious status in nineteen ninety-seven. To your side, the River Thames flows toward the sea, reminding us of why this spot became the center of the British maritime world. For centuries, this was a favorite playground for monarchs, including King Henry the Eighth and Queen Elizabeth the First, who were both born at the former palace that once stood right where you are likely walking now. Today, Greenwich is a vibrant blend of grand Baroque architecture and leafy parkland, offering a unique chance to walk through the very landscape that defined how the world measures time and distance. Take a deep breath and prepare to see how a small riverside town became the global reference point for every map ever drawn.
