Greenwich Park

Perfect thing to do in the summer - beautiful views over London and best of all... its free!

Went for a brief walk here recently during the London Sausage Dog walk! The weather was not great, which means the sausages were not happy but I was! I'd never been here before and so really enjoyed it. The view of the observatory was really nice and if you go up a bit higher I assume you get a lovely view of the city, but not on a snowy day. The area around the park is also a gem, with pubs and little shops all over the place and a true storybook feel that is not easily found in London. 

I love Greenwich park- it is a very unique Royal Park as I believe it is the most historic with Roman ruins dating back over 2000 years. This park is also host to wildlife like deer, however hard to find or see in their enclosure, and beautiful parakeets. What's great about Greenwich is it's vast rolling hills in conjunction with it's gated flower walks, suitable for all ages and mobility. The view from the Wolfe statue is to die for, you can see all notable towers/buildings such as the Shard, the London Eye, St Pauls and more! If you are showing a visitor or are a tourist yourself then this view gives you an ideal way to get your London bearings.

Greenwich Park with its view up on the hill that can easily compete with Primrose Hill, is one of my favorite parks in London. I love its atmosphere and the fact that unlike other green spaces in London, it is not always packed and you can easily relax, go for a bike ride or have a picnic without feeling any stressed. What is more is that Greenwich itself is a beautiful area, full of nice little shops, a great market like Greenwich market and if you're craving something cultural you cannot miss the Queen's House, the Old Royal Navy College (for the paintings), the Maritime Museum and Cutty Sark (for the history). Last tip, if you're feeling hungry once you reach Cutty Sark, stop by Goddard's for a filling pasty or a steak pie, you won't regret it! 

Greenwich Park is one of my favourite places in the city! I am fortunate enough to live close by and whenever there is just the smallest glimpse of sun on a day off I am there :-) 

What I love about the park is first of all its location. I can't praise the beauty of Greenwich enough. I love this part of town for it's neighborhoody feel, even though it's still crowded and a popular attraction for tourists. Greenwich has great restaurants, pubs, shops and cafés. Around Cutty Sark you are right next to the Thames with great views of both the City and Canary Wharf. Greenwich Market is really nice and offers both excellent food, vintage finds and creative art from emerging new artists. 

There is a certain tranquility over Greenwich Park, even on days when it's packed and full of children playing, dogs running and loud groups of people having picnics. I guess this is probably because everyone in the park seems happy and at ease regardless of the day you visit. I have never seen (or don't remember seeing) someone looking angry, having an argument or looking uncomfortable here. Everyone seems to come to the park to enjoy themselves; enjoy the sun, a ride on their bike, a chilled glass of prosecco, a book, a football game with friends. This is ultimately what I love the most about the park - its atmosphere. Also, views so perfect (especially at sunset) that will make you come back here again and again. 

On a closing note, a small recommendation: If you are ever in need of a bite I can recommend the close by bakery Peyton and Byrne for tasty sandwiches, good coffee (unfortunately they don't do iced coffee), juices and bakes. My personal favourite is their yoghurt and blueberry muffin - you are welcome ;-)

Greenwich Park is such a lovely place to picnic in the summertime. It has heaps of space and lovely views of London. Literally one of my favorite parks in London. Take advantage of this one as it's always a little less busy than the other major parks which is such blessing if you are just after some downtime. 

A favourite place in Greenwich - amazing views from the hill, lovely secluded areas where you can get away from the tourists and take in the stunning sights of the Royal Naval College and Canary Wharf. Flower garden is a quiet & secluded place, have worked from "home" there multiple times, no dogs allowed and very idyllic (when not too full of kids). There is a bandstand and they do lovely free concerts in summer, jazz in the park, people picnicking and dancing all around <3

Great views of London when you climb to the top and you can see the whole of Canary Wharf. It's really busy on a sunny day. We only saw part of the park and the view as we were visiting the Royal Observatory so I do need to go back to see the rest of it!

Greenwich Park truly has its own, special place in my heart.

Located in a beautiful surrounding area of maritime-style London, this is a spot to put your feet up for a while in between walks. With its gorgeous green hill (seems like a mountain when you're out jogging) topped with the Royal Observatory, the Park gives a stunning view from the bottom; and with a complete overview of Canary Wharf and infinity (and beyond), the views are even better from the top.

I've been here many, many times and yet I still can't say I've explored it all - with everything from hidden pathways to a rose garden, lively squirrels and chestnuts to collect in autumn, Greenwich Park has got it all. In the summer, you may have to dodge a few frisbees or footballs, or you can bring your own. There's really enough space for everyone, and whatever your preference - lying on the hill, being active on the flat, or admiring the views from mid-way - there's a spot for you here too.

Is it far out? Not to panic. DLR, trains, as well as the river bus stop here, and I definitely recommend the latter for a stylish arrival. And crowded with excellent pubs and restaurants, Greenwich is one to visit any day of the week.

I've always loved Greenwich. It's so full of culture and this park is huge with so many things to do. It has amazing views of London at the top of the hill. We used to come here to train and do circuits as it's quite a steep hill so it was a good workout. Once you're at the top, it's quite flat and smooth perfect for rollerblading here too. They even have a deer sanctuary at the back and the gardens are beautiful when in blossom. There are cafes, tennis courts and plenty of green space for picnics in the summer. I used to cycle through here every morning to get to work, and even now as a wheelchair user, find it accessible with facilities that cater for me and there's plenty of parking available. Definitely one of the better parks in London, full of nostalgia and memories of all the activities I've done here.

Incredible views, brilliantly looked after gardens and easy parking make Greenwich Park a brilliant family day out. Wander around, take your time, have an ice cream and marvel at the wonderful city spread out in front of you. 

Teamed with a walk around Greenwich or neighbouring Blackheath Village, this is a lovely day out where you rack up serious mileage on your pedometer! It's a must-do for any out-of-town visitors, where you can prove that London is not only a really green city, but also one of the most beautiful in the world. 

Laying in Greenwich Park on a sunny weekend got to be one of my favorite pass-times this summer. Park is so vast, there is usually always enough space and it doesn’t seem too crowded, you have a lovely view to London town, there is plenty of shade around for those who can’t expose their sensitive English skin to the sun for too long and shops and restaurants are just around the corner when you get hungry.

Of course park is just more than laying on the grass, let's not forget the observatory on the top of the hill, but if you are at least a little bit like me, you will avoid it in the summer because there is always large group of tourists lining up in front of it.

If you want to charm your date, take her to Rose Garden and The Queen's Orchard for colorful displays of flowers but most importantly, take her to deer park.

All the other that just like to come to park to chill, join me on the grass!
