| This ship in a bottle had pride of place at Trafalgar Square when we were in London in 2011 |
A boat trip to Greenwich is compulsory when in London. Whilst you have to pick your day weatherwise (it's freezing on the river on a windy day) the Thames Clipper roars down river to the home of the Cutty Sark and Greenwich Mean Time at the Greenwich Observatory.
To find the Embankment Pier where the boat for Greenwich leaves from just look for this building.
It's striking outline of Charing Cross Station.

England is full of fantastic pubs - the Kings Arms at Greenwich is no exception
