From London to Greenwich
Next week I’m going on break to London for a couple of days, partly to attend a conference in PHP programming, partly also to visit the small town of Greenwich.
Greenwich Maritime Museum
I’m not interested so see where he passes the Greenwich meridian as famous to visit the large National Maritime Museum, where I include, among other things, the war jacket Horatio Nelson led the famous Battle of Trafalgar, where Admiral died musket shot that pierced midriff. In the coat of the legendary British military can see the entrance hole of the bullet, left shoulder area.

Another of the attractions of Greenwich for me is walking through the streets, much quieter than the hectic capital of England. Perhaps I may go to see the famous ship Cutty Sark, and try to stop by the market that is mounted in the center, to see the ambientillo you breathe. Or just lose myself streets looking for their small businesses, breathing its air alone.

Transport for London to Greenwich
Unfortunately, the London Underground does not reach the next village, but we can connect with trains DLR (Docklands Light Raiway) from Bank tube stations and Tower Gateway (near Tower Bridge underground station). If you have a travelcard that covers the area, is valid for this train.
If we take as an example as a starting point the King’s Cross area, which is my case, the journey is not to be over half an hour, and just to do a transfer.
I’ll tell you around what such a visit to Greenwich, but something tells me it will be one of my most enjoyable outings this year.
