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.

Hiya - yes Claire & loulou are one and the same.
I was asking if you knew about the development of Greenwich Pier and the rumour there was to be a wagamamas?
Ah - all is clear. Well - they're certainly clipping on with whatever they're going to do there. The poor old shelter is really, frankly, no more.
A Wagamama, you say? I haven't heard of one - but it wouldn't surprise me. If it sees the demise of the godawful Tai Won Mein or Noodle Time, it's one chain I could just about stand. Just as long as us locals who are REALLY in the know continue to visit the superb Ginza...
