With tourists flocking to central London over the holidays, sometimes boroughs further out don’t get the love they deserve.

However, south east London has plenty to offer making it both an amazing place to visit and a great place to live.

A borough loved by both tourists and locals is Greenwich which has lots of green space, plenty to do and scrumptious places to eat.

One of the top, festive things to do in Greenwich is visit the ice rink outside of the Queen’s House with views of Greenwich park.

If you are a Bridgerton fan, Queen’s House is definitely worth a visit and you may find some of the sights familiar.

Or, in the summer Greenwich park is an excellent place to hang out with friends, bask in the sun and have a picnic.

You can also step aboard the Cutty Sark – the world’s sole surviving tea clipper.

It is a legendary 19th century ship that used to bring tea back from China at record breaking speeds.

The ship can be found in the heart of Greenwich, just around the corner from the renowned Greenwich market.

Greenwich market has everything you could want from antiques, to food, to pubs and crafts.

Speaking of pubs, there are numerous pubs throughout Greenwich to enjoy a pint at – whether you are looking for something traditional, quirky or modern it’s all there.

At the National Maritime museum, you can travel the world and learn new things, another wonderful thing to do in Greenwich.

Another thing to do in Greenwich is set sail on a Thames cruise, heading up and down the river to see even more of London.

The IFS Cable Car is popular among both tourists and Londoners, with it being used by visitors to experience the ultimate view of the city, it is also used by many Londoners as a creative way to commute across the river.

The O2 arena is an incredible asset to Greenwich with live music performances taking place there all the time.

You can even scale the arena for 360 degree views of London.

If you are looking to move to Greenwich, the average price of a flat as of December 2022 was £369k.

Or, if you are looking for something bigger then the average price of a detached house was £961k.

For a semi-detached house, you’re looking at spending on average £677k or for a terraced house, £507k.
