Half a day of Boats

The Tube is pretty comprehensive; it covers most places in London that you’d like to visit.
After my Unplanned Art Day, I went to Greenwich which is in the SE corner of London.
It’s a small town that’s nautical in tradition but also has the Royal Observatory where the Prime Meridian is and a Maritime Museum which is pretty cool.
I arrived in Greenwich around 1600 or so. The Observatory was already closing down and the Maritime Museum was preparing to close at 1630. Bummer.
The town itself is cute. A little touristed out as a “waterfront town” but it was nice in a theme park kind of way. This is also drydocked in their waterfront area. Not much relation to this besides the logo and name though. I looked.
Then, in a refreshing change from constant Tube travel, I took a boat down the River Thames to the London Eye across from Westminster. It took about 40 minutes and was very leisurely.
A nice walk down the South Bank, looped up past St. Paul’s Cathedral and headed back to Lancaster Gate. I’m going to sample some local Indian food tonght.
Maybe even some pix of the food too!
