Greenwich Leisure
Echoes of the past resonate through the heart of Greenwich. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its architectural, scientific, maritime and royal associations, Greenwich has taken its place alongside such other aesthetically important sites as Westminster Abbey, Venice and the Taj Mahal.
Greenwich has played a key role in the story of Britain's seapower for over 400 years and today its museums celebrate its maritime history. These attributes, combined with close links to Tudor and Stuart sovereigns, give Greenwich an unrivalled symbolic identity.
Greenwich Park, the oldest of London's Royal Parks, and town centre, lie within the World Heritage Site boundary. Located here are many of the attractions that make Greenwich a place of international significance. They are:
- The Old Royal Naval College
- The National Maritime Museum
- The Royal Observatory, Greenwich
- The Queens House
- St Alfege Church
- The Cutty Sark
- The Fan Museum
- The Wernher Collection at Ranger's House
- Trafalgar Tavern
- Arches Leisure Centre
- Greenwich Visitors Centre
- World Heritage Site for Greenwich
- Greenwich Park
The university also has links with a local leisure centre which is a short walk from the Greenwich Campus.
