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.

Is that the ghost of Dick and his cat in the window?
I think that was why I really liked this picture. Maybe someone should repaint the mural so that Dick can look at his own plaque...
I don't want to sound like a KillJoy but hasn't that plaque been there for some time? I'm sure it's the same one I saw in January.....or am I hallucinating?
Sunday was the grand unveiling with dignitaries and bigwigs. Oh. And Chris Roberts.
Thanks for clearing that up......thought I had travelled through some sort of time warp thingy........"Doctor, I need to up the medication again....."
