Whether it’s part of the event programme or for socialising with guests after a hard day’s conference, there’s a great choice of places to sit and unwind in Greenwich. From cosy armchairs in a traditional London pub or a scenic spot with a gourmet take-away, to elegant seats in a classy brasserie, your guests will be able to relax and reflect on the day’s events.

social programmes team building incentives partner programmes extended stays

Take time off in Greenwich to enjoy the culture at our museums, browse designer-maker stalls and independent shops and stand with one foot in each hemisphere at the Greenwich Meridian, Longitude 0°. Or you could try something a bit different, like a flight over the Thames on London’s only cable car or a walk across the roof of The O2.

Greenwich provides great opportunities for your event programming. Why not include a guided walk of this historic area, book a beer or wine tasting session, enjoy a round of golf or take a sightseeing trip on the river. Encourage your guests to enjoy life outside the confines of the meeting room and add a little sparkle to the agenda.

GREENWICH MARKET For more information or to book, please call 020 8305 5235

Greenwich Market is fondly regarded as one of London’s best covered markets. The market is open daily Tuesdays to Sundays and the space is available to hire for events and receptions on Monday daytimes and in the evenings.

The market has a cobbled stone floor and statuesque portico at one end and the lanes leading into the market are very quaint. It is a Royal Charter market, which was originally assigned to the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital on the 19 December 1700 for 1,000 years.

The market is owned by Greenwich Hospital – the Royal Navy’s oldest charity – and provides charitable support to serving and retired personnel of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines and their dependants. Income for the market contributes to the charity.
