It was a walk we have sort of done before but we started in the Isle of Dogs, then took the free foot tunnel to Greenwich (always an interesting experience) then walked up past the Cutty Sark and the old Royal Observatory, through the park and out of Blackheath Gate (see plaque to Cornish rebels defeated by Henry VII forces in 1497) and came back to do circuit of the park.
Past the deer park (see plaque to former slave and the first black man known to vote in a British election, Ignatius Sancho) and returned to Greenwich by the Royal Naval College buildings for lunch. Afterward back to Island Gardens via the tunnel.
The weather was glorious. Cold but blue skies and plenty of sunshine. When the weather is so good, I don't believe you can have a better walk inside London.
