Greenwich Park · London

Greenwich Park & the Thames Path

The park's perimeter is about 3 km, with a short, sharp climb to the General Wolfe statue and the Observatory at the top. Come down past the Queen's House to the river, then follow the Thames Path past the Old Royal Naval College. Carry on east towards the Greenwich Peninsula for 4 to 5 km more of flat riverside.
