One of the towns I went to while in London was Greenwich

I went there on the Saturday, so it was busy, but there again it is good to see families out enjoying the day, and a museum. It was also the 11/11 so I also went to a Remembrance Service on the banks of the Thames.

One of the buildings of the complex is The Queen's House built in the early 17th century. It is open, and mostly used as an art gallery, as you can see here -
