Greenwich Vacation Guide
Greenwich (pronunciation (help·info); IPA /'ɡɹɛn.ɪtʃ/ "GREN-itch", /'ɡɹɪn.ɪdʒ/ "GRIN-idge" or /'ɡɹɛn.ɪdʒ/ "GREN-idge")[1][2] is a district in south-east London, England, on the south bank of the River Thames in the London Borough of Greenwich. It is best known for its maritime history and as giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longtitude) and Greenwich Mean Time.
The town became the site of a Royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many in the House of Tudor, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor. These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation. The historic rooms within these buildings remain open to the public, other buildings are used by University of Greenwich and the Trinity College of Music.

After I checked in I headed straight to Greenwich. I didn't really want to jump into the London attractions with only a half day, and this was something I wasn't going to miss. It fit perfectly into what I had time for today.Greenwich is the site of the Prime Meridian. Of course it isn't the ONLY l…

As a serious student in London, time to explore the city is often limited. Yet after exams, the sun shines, and time abounds: life is stress-free and beautiful. These are some of the photographs taken during my time in London.
