Timmi
★★★★★3 weeks agoAbsolutely! Had such a wonderful time at Greenwich Park after what felt like a very long time. It was lovely to spend some peaceful time here and enjoy the beautiful sunset. The park is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of greenery and great views. It’s a perfect place for a relaxing walk, a picnic, or simply to unwind and enjoy some fresh air. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful place to spend some quality time.

★★★★★a month agoGreenwich Park is a really beautiful and charming place. If you have a few extra days to explore London, I definitely recommend adding it to your itinerary. The park is very large, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing walk away from the busy city centre. I highly recommend walking up to the Observatory, as the view from there is absolutely stunning: you can see the entire London skyline, including some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. It’s also a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view. If you have time, I suggest bringing a blanket or a towel and some food, finding a nice spot on the grass, and waiting for sunset — the atmosphere is really special and the view is worth it. Overall, it’s a place I would definitely visit again!
