Last Saturday me and Fruity decided to go to Greenwich. I thought its a shame to not have visited such a great place with so many ancient time devices and having the meridian, in the 3 and half years time period that I have been living in the UK. Since I stay in Hounslow West and Gaurav ( Fruity ) stays in Northfields, I took a Piccadilly line tube to Northfields and luckily Fruity was right in time to get into the compartment, I was in, at Northfields. Then we continued the journey till Holborn and took a central line tube to Bank and got off there to walk till the DLR stations at Bank. Just in case you didn't know the DLR trains do not have any drivers in them! They are automatic. From there we took a DLR to Greenwich. However Fruity told me that it would be better to get off at Cutty Sark than to get off at Greenwich. He told me that Cutty Sark was an old Ship in which the Brits did a lot of exploration. But thought we got off there, for some reason, we forgot to watch it. As soon as we came out of the Cutty Sark Station, we saw the Greenwich Market. It was very nice and as far as I remember, there were different kinds of food stalls from different parts of the world, a bit of Goth stuff, a bit of paintings and stalls of a lot of other things. In a nutshell, this market was very clean and was very different from the ones I have seen in London, especially in south west and north w est of London. There was some kind of purity and originality in that market. It had a village kind of look which I liked. There were loads of restaurants to eat around while we walked towards Greenwich University. And these restaurants were all kinds. I mean they served a variety of food from all over the world. I remember the names of 2: Mogul which was Indian and Noodle Time, Noodle Bar which was Chinese.
Have a look at its menu here - Chinese food in Greenwich. Greenwich university is very beautiful. It had a bit of olden look and had a very good architecture compared to the dull modern buildings. Just opposite the university is Devonport House and National Maritime Museum. We also saw the Queens House. When we crossed these 2 structures and walked through them we started seeing lush green grasslands which I believe was the beginning of the Greenwich park. We could also see the Royal Greenwich observatory on the other end of this park on the uphill. While walking on this park we took the snaps of the beautiful scenery behind us where we could see 2 huge pillars of the Greenwich university and in the middle were a bunch of tall buildings in Canary Wharf. Then we walked to the observatory. There was an amazing view from the observatory. We saw the O2 arena on the right most side, to its left were the Greenwich Uni and the Canary Wharf buildings ( HSBC, Citi etc... ), on their left I could see another bunch of buildings which I could recognize to be from Liverpool street as I saw the famous Swiss Bank building. And all along these structures, flew The Thames.
I also took a pic with the meridian ( 0 0 0 ). Taking pictures inside the museum is not allowed. There some amazing time keeping devices and paintings etc which were very very old. I remember spotting something from the 16th century. There was a shop which sold clocks and t-shirts and other stuff related to Greenwich. After that, we walked a bit in the Greenwich park. We spotted some huge squirrels and I immediately took a short video of them. It should be somewhere on this page. From there we walked back to the direction we started from and on the way spotted the old Greenwich Naval College. It was very beautifully made and also had an olden look. We walked inside and spotted an old London. red bus which had come to drop some wedding guests I guess.
From the college, one can go to a bank of The Thames and that's what we did. I think that part was one of the most enjoyable part of my whole Greenwich journey. That's because being besides water and getting an amazing view of the O2 arena and the Thames and the tall canary Wharf buildings was awesome.
I had a wonderful time at Greenwich and the next time I go there, I will plan to spend more time in the museums and in the park. There are many many more places in Greenwich. Have a look at them here - Astronomy centre, Weller Astronomy Galleries, Astronomy Photographer of the year 2010, The Lloyd's Register Educational Trust Learning Centre, Peter Harrison Planetarium, Altazimuth Pavilion, Flamsteed House and Time Galleries, Astronomers Royal's apartments, Octagon Room, Harrison's sea clocks, Camera Obscura, Meridian 0 0' 0'', Meridian Telescopes, Telescopes exhibition, Time and society Gallery, 28-inch Telescope Dome, Navy Gallery.
