1st is The Harbour Master’s House – some info below. I didn’t realise they hired out the basement for holiday lets!

The Harbour Master’s House is a Grade II listed building built in 1855 by George Smith. It comprises half of the Harbour Master’s Office, an impressive brick building with stone dressing, featured in Lord Snowden’s (1999) London: Sight Unseen (published by Weidenfeld & Nicholson). The Office was the centre of control for the collier traffic on the Thames until 1890. The basement flat of the Harbour Master’s House is completely self-contained with its own entrance, and is newly refurbished. It was awarded a 4-star rating by the English Tourism Council. The Harbour Master’s Office is on the corner of Ballast Quay, an attractive riverside enclave within easy walking distance of historic Greenwich.

Hmmm. I think I like this game.
A photo of Chris Roberts appears under every letter, and presumably the aim is to think of the most appropriate word for him that begins with that letter…

(Ummm. Might get difficult when it gets to Z)

How about Mr Halley, the 2nd Astronomer Royal ? The man who computed the orbit of the comet that bears his name.
