Greenwich Village
Why Greenwich Village is one of the worst London tourist attractions
Greenwich Village is a so-called tourist attraction far from the heart of London which takes a while to get to.
After arriving, you have to walk a fair distance uphill to see the “famous” 24 hour clock and the prime meredian. It’s exhausting and it’s such a disappointment. It’s sooo boring. There’s absolutely nothing there to hold your attention. You look at the clock and the stone you can step on which represents the prime meridian and think: is this it?
Don’t waste your time visiting this London tourist attraction - it’s really not worth the effort. There are much more interesting sights to see in London that don’t require so much walking.
Address
Greenwich Peninsula, Greenwich,London
Opening times/Cost
Open from 10.00am to 5.00pm, seven days a week. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing.No entrance fee.

The place is full of squirrels that are so tame, they are going to eat out of your hand. Quite fun if you’ve never seen one before!

What an idiot. Open your eyes. Greenwich is beautiful - what about the views of the whole city from the top? Stunning and more than worth a trip.
