Location and commute
Sophia's place is near the heart of Greenwich.
- National railway: 5mins walk to Greenwich (Southeastern) Station, from where you can take train to London Cannon Street, and then transfer to Underground to see Westminster Abby, Big Ben, London Eye and all other places you want to see.
-Water taxi: 10mins walk to Greenwich pier. You can take a walking to around Greenwich, and then take water taxi to London, the night view is fantastic, you can't miss it.
-Oyster card: I found one place, near Pie and mash Greenwich, sells oyster card. It's better to have one, it not only allows you to your pay fare of public transportations, but also gives you discount.
Apartment and neighborhood
- The neighborhood is quiet and safe, lots of youth work in downtown and live in this community.
- The apartment has high speed internet, very clean bathroom, warm and comfortable bathroom, plus great view in living room if weather is good. Sophia works hard but she does manage everything and respond super quick. This is her home, as well as your home while in Greenwich, so we need to treat it as our own apartment:)
Entertainment
-Picturehouse is the movie theater in this area. There is a cafe on the first floor, so if you don't want to watch a movie, it might not be a bad idea to sit down, get a cup of coffee and relax
- Sports bar
Food
I didn't get chance to try more. If you don't like fish and chips, Pie and mash is a good alternative.
You will like Sophia's place just as I do:)
