The district of Greenwich is an exceptionally scenic, serene district of London, a couple of miles southwest of the centre on the South Bank. Home to Greenwich Mean Time and a great maritime history, Greenwich has been added to the list of world heritage sites for its huge concentration of buildings of historical and architectural interest. With strong transport links to the city and especially the Thames, but a character and atmosphere all its own, Greenwich hotels make a great, relaxed base for a holiday or business excursion.
Greenwich hotels are often chic, high-quality establishments averaging about four stars each. One such place right next to Greenwich Station is Novotel London Greenwich. The rooms have a uniformly soothing, airy feel, and amenities include a fitness centre and a private hammam. In-house international restaurant Elements is also an attractive prospect.
Also holding four stars, but considerably grander and more classical in appearance is Devonport House, in the centre of the world heritage site. Inside and out, Devonport House is impeccably grand, with spotless gardens and a classic, naval feel to its shining wooden walls. For a budget option, the Clarendon Hotel is a good choice, housed in a lovely Georgian building on the edge of green Blackheath, just across the way from the heritage site. The hotel’s Meridian Restaurant offers regular live entertainment in an attempt to hold its own against the high number of quality local eateries.
Situated on the boundaries of Zones 2 and 3, Greenwich Station services National Rail as well as the Docklands Light Railway between Cutty Sark and Deptford Bridge. It’s about 20 minutes on the train to the centre, and Greenwich also has ferry services to other areas of the Thames.
