Greenwich is one of those places you think is much further away than it really is. But did you know you can reach Greenwich from central London is around 30 minutes by DLR or on a Thames Clipper on the river?

Greenwich is a World Heritage Site, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line, and there's plenty to do so you could easily spend a full day, or many days, exploring the area but I thought it would help to give some suggested one-day itineraries. I've put together a selection of one-day plans for a day out in Greenwich whether you are on a budget, taking the family or have a sense of adventure.

Hotel Recommendation
If you'd like to spend longer in Greenwich I can recommend Devonport House which is on the World Heritage Site and is right next door to the National Maritime Museum.
