Greenwich Park

The former hunting park, today one of the largest (up to 74 hectares) in the south-east of London. It belongs to the complex of royal parks and was the first of them fenced in 1433. Situated on a hill, it is an ideal vantage point for places such as the River Thames, St. Paul's Cathedral or the panorama of London.

In 1427, the land was handed over to Humphrey Lancaster, Duke of Gloucester, who built the palace on the river, Bella Court, as well as the small Greenwich Castle, also called the tower of Prince Humphrey. From the 15th century, the place underwent changes, among others in the place of the castle from 1675 we can find the Royal Astronomical Observatory. For centuries, the park served the royal family, which created a sanctuary for deer, foxes and birds.

In 2012, during the Olympic Games, equestrian competitions were held here.
