Moored at Greenwich as part of the Falklands War Commemorations. Whatever you think, it's worth a look...
About Me
- Name: The Greenwich Phantom
- Location: Greenwich, London, United Kingdom
Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.

Ah imitation, they say it's the sincerest form of flattery! ;-)
Sorry?

Or perhaps I should have said great minds think alike.
Tee hee. Now I see what you mean!
Nice blog btw!
Thanks! It was partly inspired by your good self.
Aw, gee! Really - I think it's great that there are more local blogs out there. Maybe it will make shops and services better in the long run if they think they;re being publicly judged - on however small a scale. I sadly don't often get the chance to read as many blogs as I would like - trying to juggle a daily with Proper Work is sometimes, ahem, a bit of a challenge and pleasure-reading comes rather low on the to-do list but I will try to look in when I can. There is much to enjoy in Deptford (I even sneak over there myself from time to time) and it deserves a closer look.
She was quite a sight to see at Greenwich. I managed to get onto the the ship - here is a shot looking back down the flight deck on on my blog. It is part of one of some 360 panoramas from HMS Ark Royal that I was allowed to take!
Nice one, Peter!
