Things to do after an Open Day
Greenwich
Greenwich Campus sits on a World Heritage Site and is in the heart of Greenwich, south-east London. The neighbourhood has a lively atmosphere but is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The campus has an on-site bar, four coffee shops, and a number of places to grab a bite to eat, but if you're looking outside of campus, there is a massive selection.
Food & Drink
Goddards at Greenwich - famous pie and mash eatery open since the 1890s
Sticks'n'Sushi - fresh modern Japanese/Scandi cuisine
15grams Coffee House - great for brunch
River Gardens Cafe - scenic riverside views and great cakes
The Greenwich Tavern - multi-floor pub with bar and dining areas
Greenwich Market – one of London's most famous food markets!
Attractions
Having a full, fun day in Greenwich is easy with the vast number of attractions.
Historical sites include the 1869 clipper ship the Cutty Sark, The Royal Observatory and Gardens and the National Maritime Museum - which is free!
For more modern entertainment, the 02 arena is right on your doorstep. Greenwich park is big and beautiful and perfect for watching the sunset from its impressive view over the city. It's also home to the Royal Observatory, the home of Greenwich Meantime, where you can visit the planetarium.
Don't forget, you're just fifteen minutes from central London!
Avery Hill
Avery Hill Campus is in Eltham, a large suburban town in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. On-site facilities include a café, canteen, shop, launderette, parking, and a fully-equipped gym.

Attractions
Beyond campus there's no shortage of sights to see including Henry VIII's former home Eltham Palace. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops to visit in nearby Eltham, and it's just a short train ride to Bluewater — one of Europe’s largest shopping and leisure destinations.
Sports fans can catch Charlton Athletic at The Valley or head to the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, which regularly hosts major sporting events. When you want a touch of nature, Avery Hill Park’s 86 acres of green space offer an outdoor gym, tennis tables, and scenic trails that form part of the Green Chain Walk.
Medway
The Medway Campus has a rich naval history. Its red-brick buildings were previously a Royal Navy base and Nelson's flagship HMS Victory was built at Chatham's Historic Dockyard.
The campus also has amazing cafés and bars and an attractive piazza-style area with outdoor seating which is ideal for events. There are also plenty of green spaces to relax and study, with a tennis court if you are feeling sporty.
Food & Drink
The Ship & Trades - waterfront bar and restaurant overlooking the marina
Pier Five Bar & Kitchen - artisan pizzas, gourmet burgers and craft beers
Hancock's Restaurant - American style food and great atmosphere
Creams Café - desserts, milkshakes and sundaes - good for when you need a sugar rush

Attractions
Just a short walk from campus you'll find the dockyard - a gorgeous historic site with a shopping outlet, cinema, restaurants and bars. Nearby Medway Park offers a nice break from the city with brilliant sports facilities and a massive green space. For history buffs there are multiple attractions including Rochester Cathedral, Rochester Castle, Upnor Castle and the Royal Engineers museum.
