Greenwich is one of London's most beguiling spots, and the one place in southeast London that draws large numbers of visitors. At its heart stands one of the capital's finest architectural set pieces, the former Royal Naval College overlooking the Thames. To the west lies Greenwich town centre, while to the south, you'll find Greenwich's two prime tourist sights, the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory. If you're heading straight for either of the latter pair from central London, the quickest way to get there is to take the train from Charing Cross (every 30min) to Maze Hill, on the eastern edge of Greenwich Park. Those wanting to start with the town or the Cutty Sark should alight at Greenwich station. A more scenic way of getting to Greenwich is to take a boat from one of the piers in central London. A third possible option is to take the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to the Cutty Sark station. For the best view of the Wren buildings, though, get out at Island Gardens, and then take the Greenwich Foot Tunnel under the Thames.
