On this sunny day, the park's expansive lawns are dotted with people enjoying various leisure activities. Picnickers spread blankets on the grass, while others simply bask in the warmth of the sun. The park, covering 183 acres, has been a popular recreational space since it was enclosed in 1433. Its elevated position provides stunning views over the River Thames to the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and the City of London. The park is part of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, with the Royal Observatory, home to the Prime Meridian line, visible on the hill. Greenwich Park's appeal lies in its blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and modern recreational use. Whether for picnicking, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the outdoors, the park continues to serve as a vital green space for Londoners and visitors alike, offering a peaceful retreat and a glimpse of London's royal and maritime history.
