Royal Borough of Greenwich

The Royal Borough of Greenwich spans 8.5 miles along the River Thames, featuring both urban neighborhoods and green spaces throughout its territory.

In 1965, the area emerged through the merger of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich and major sections of the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich.

The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich Observatory, and Cutty Sark ship form part of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site complex.

The borough connects to central London through multiple transport options, including the Jubilee Line, Southeastern trains, and Docklands Light Railway stations.

Greenwich establishes the global Prime Meridian at zero degrees longitude, setting the reference point for time zones across the world.
