Greenwich is a London borough in southeast London encompassing the historic town of Greenwich (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the former Millennium Dome (now O2 Arena), and extensive areas including Woolwich, Eltham, and Blackheath. This Thames-side borough features world-class heritage, dramatic river frontage, and significant regeneration along the Thames corridor. The London climate brings mild temperatures with moderate rainfall, with riverside areas experiencing slightly cooler conditions than inland locations. Culturally, Greenwich holds global significance as the home of the Royal Observatory (Prime Meridian), Cutty Sark clipper ship, National Maritime Museum, and the Old Royal Naval College (masterpiece of Sir Christopher Wren). The area preserves exceptional maritime heritage alongside the Greenwich Park deer park and elegant Georgian architecture. The O2 Arena provides world-class entertainment while Woolwich undergoes major regeneration with Crossrail connectivity and new developments. Eltham Palace combines medieval and art deco architecture while Blackheath retains village character with spectacular views across London. The borough's riverside provides walks and connections to the Thames Barrier.
