This festive season, it truly shines.

A Festive Hub of Activity
From the Greenwich Lantern Parade and Christmas Light Switch-On on November 19 to the enchanting Greenwich Christmas Market, the borough is alive with seasonal magic. The market, set in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts over 200 artisan stalls, festive food, mulled wine, and even Santa himself. Just steps away, iconic landmarks like the Cutty Sark and Old Royal Naval College provide a stunning backdrop for holiday celebrations.

Culture and Entertainment
Greenwich Theatre’s annual pantomime brings laughter and joy to families, while nearby attractions like the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory offer year-round cultural experiences.

Greenwich isn’t just about events - it’s about people. With outstanding schools such as Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys, the borough is committed to education and opportunity. Excellent transport links via DLR, rail, and riverboat make commuting effortless, while green spaces like Greenwich Park offer tranquillity in the heart of the city.
