There is a seven-minute walk between the Royal Observatory Greenwich and the other buildings. As the Observatory is at the top of a steep hill we recommend that your group starts there and enjoys an easy stroll downhill. Groups arriving by coach can do this by setting down their passengers at the Blackheath gate to Greenwich Park in Charlton Way. The coach can make its way to the Cutty Sark area to pick up the group at the end of the visit. During the summer months a shuttle bus operates from Greenwich Pier to the Observatory.
Many groups add a pleasant river cruise to their day in Greenwich.
Services operate every day to Greenwich Pier from Westminster Pier, Charing Cross Pier, Tower Pier and the Thames Barrier. The three museum buildings are within the historic royal park which provides plenty of space for picnics, pleasant walks and magnificent views over the River Thames, Docklands and central London.
