Hotels in Greenwich & Blackheath
Greenwich is about four miles north-west of Eltham and is the obvious base if you want somewhere with more to do in the evening. Maritime Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the concentration of things to see within a short walk of the river is unusual even by London standards.
The Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum, the Old Royal Naval College and the Royal Observatory — where the Prime Meridian is marked — are all within Greenwich Park or a few minutes of it. The park itself is one of the Royal Parks and the climb to the Observatory gives the view over the river to Canary Wharf that turns up on most postcards of the borough.
Blackheath, on the far side of the park, is quieter: a large open heath with a village of pubs and independent shops on its southern edge. Both are easy to reach from Eltham by train or bus.
