How I spent a day at a 'magical' UK spot named among best places to live in the UK
The area drew praise for its huge park, legendary pubs and world-class museums, with visitors sampling market stalls, cafés and riverside views.
Greenwich recently appeared on the Muddy Stilettos list of best places to live across the UK, with the publication describing it as "magical" thanks to its "legendary pubs," "world-class museums," and "huge variety of housing."
Exploration begins in Greenwich Park, a famous viewpoint offering vistas of Canary Wharf and the National Maritime Museum before visitors venture into Greenwich Market, which features rows of food stalls selling cuisines from around the world.
Culinary highlights include stopping at 15grams for coffee, then grabbing a £5.80 chicken Caesar and bacon bagel at Black Eye or visiting Paul Rhodes, an independent bakery specializing in handcrafted breads and pastries.
A walk along the River Thames reveals the Trafalgar Tavern, one of the area's cutest pubs, and the nearby Royal Naval College, famously featured in films including Thor: The Dark World, Jurassic World: Rebirth, and Patriot Games.
More tourists are venturing out of London's city centre to visit areas outside of Zone One, and with great links into the city plus a huge park, Greenwich is establishing itself as a perfect place to live.
