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.

I can't believe they got an offer for £575,000 and they turned it down!! FOOLS!
Talk about greed to market it for a 100,000 more than the estate agent's valuation.
I guess the 'North Greenwich' location went to their heads.

Since when was North Greenwich an area? I thought it was a tube station!
What amazes me is the way on all these programmes they ignore the 'expert'. They didn't have a clue, blinded by pure greed.
Where was the bijoux bar they were all having orange juice in?
Does anyone know if it has sold yet? I know it didn't for a long time (which obviously serves them right for being so greedy in the first place).
I have walked down there reasonably recently and it had a "sold" sign outside - but how much it went for isn't public kniwledge yet...
Let's hope that delightful pair didn't just decide to stay there themselves thus foisting htemselves on us...
I couldn't work out where the bar was - we freeze-framed it and still couldn't work out where it was. Anyone have any clues?
