our fascinating cruise guide. as hochuan remarked, he learned more about London from listening to him than from staying in London for over 6 months

perfect weather for a thames river cruise

apartment built such that every single unit has a view of the river

up the hill to the royal observatory. the flowers are in full bloom!
royal observatory at the top of greenwich park, where the prime meridian line is. notice the red time ball atop the Octagon Room.

greenwich market. i love all these flea markets, which are very much a part of london culture. they sell all sorts of stuff, ranging from the exotic to the interesting to the quaint.
