laststand Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I am staying in Greenwich on Sunday and Monday. Sunday night is no problem - a few red wines in an Italian restaurant. But the Monday morning? I don't want to leave Greenwich in case for some reason I can't get back in time to collect my tickets, but what is there to do? Don't say drink because I don't want to forget I went to the show! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Believe me, Greenwich is packed with stuff. Royal ObservatoryNational Maritime MuseumQueen's House all worth a visit ...plus of course King Tut's stuff in the O2, as I've posted elsewhere. Plenty to keep you occupied!

laststand Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Find an Internet Cafe. Thanks but I am with Ray Davies, I don't like Internet Cafes. I will take your advice and look for a working man's cafe. Shopping? How do you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Go for a walk in the park up to the Observatory, and admire the amazing view. Then go to the maritime museum, which is incredible. They're both free, and two of the best things you can do in London. Either that or go to the Greenwich Union on Royal Hill and enjoy some of the finest beers known to man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Frink Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Greenwich is a really nice area (and I'm not just biased because I live there). You will find plenty to keep you happy by just wandering around. Watch those beers in the Union....a lot of them have been made by Germans.

Don't say drink because I don't want to forget I went to the show! Any ideas?When i visited The Dome ( just before they closed it down), on the Saturday afternoon i had a wander round Greenwich, and found a small market, with two shops selling old vinyl, so if you're a collector, it may be worth checking out?

indigomoonbeam Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Become the first person to scale the O2!!!! Orrrrrrrr Go fishin' in the Thames down by the O2 pier and catch some cute looking big fish to sell to the Band's roadies for recreational "activities."

medalface Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 i know there is a tube station at greenwich jubilee line which is generally reliable and quick so you could pop over the river and check central london etc... think you will find stuff to do and hopefully bump into other LZ fans!

Chicken Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Me and my boyfriend are gonna have to find something to do with Monday morning too. I don't know what. Something will come up! Our train back isn't til about 3:30pm on Tuesday either so we'll be able to do something with Tuesday. What's near London Euston that's interesting? I don't wanna go too far from the station in case we can't find it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Get on the Northern Line and go to Waterloo - walk along the south bank and go to the Tate Modern - then get the Jubliee back at Waterloo to N Greenwich. A marvellous way to fill in a few hours (apart from the tube travelling). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosophical Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 There is loads of nice things. Absolutely go to Greenwich park, the Observatory, stroll out to Blackheath, where the Peasants Revolt rested and gathered before decending on London, and back down the Hill to the National Maratime Museum (see the coat Lord Nelson wore when he was shot!), look around central Greenwich. pop into St Alfreges Chruch (Thomas Tallis is buried there), walk the foot tunnel to the Isle of Dogs and admire the view back across the river from Island gardens. Take a 177 bus downstream to visit the Thames Barrier, and then visit the Eighth Wonder Of The World aka known as THE VALLEY, home to CHARLTON ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB (if you're around on the Saturday...tomorrow, they have a Game against Ipswich Town...go and see)...all the time you will be conscious of the O2 dome, and the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. Welcome to my (and Frinks and Lees) little corner of gods good earth South East London. Loads of nice pubs near the river too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
