Greenwich
Greenwich feels like a village that happens to be in London. The magnificent park, the Georgian architecture, the river views—it has a grandeur that other areas can only dream of. Stand at the Royal Observatory and you're at the centre of world time, looking across to Canary Wharf's towers. Yet daily life is peaceful: morning runs through the deer park, weekend strolls to the market, pints at the Trafalgar watching boats pass on the Thames.
