The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

The UK's only Museum devoted to the history of fans and the craft of fan making. Nestled in the heart of historic Greenwich, The Fan Museum is home to a diverse collection of fans from around the world, dating from the 12th century to the present day.
Lovely afternoon tea at The Orangery. This is definitly a hidden gem in Greenwich. Cafe is located in the Fan Museum where you have to pay an entry free(£4 adults £3 kids over 7) to the museum in order to go the cafe but definitly worth it for the treats. The Orangery looks onto the beautiful garden although access to the gardens is not permitted. The Orangery itself is small but quaint and beautifully decorated with lovely ambience. Very friendly service and the afternoon tea is a steal with its prices and freshly baked scones and cakes. Nice to wonder through the museum after with beautiful fans on display. ????

Had my first visit to the Cutty Sark a few weekends ago - how have I not been here before? The interpretation was pitched just right for me - enough information to give a good grounding and flavour but not too much so it became a chore to read. I loved the design of the level with all the tea chests and boxes which gave a great atmosphere. Another highlight was the top deck - who doesn't like to pretend to be captain! What made the visit were the incredibly helpful and friendly front of house staff who made us initially feel really welcome and then went above and beyond to get the penny press machine fixed so that we could use it. I'll definitley be back when I have to entertain people visiting me in London.

Experience the world's largest maritime museum, filled with inspirational stories of exploration and endeavour at sea and packed to the gunwales with intriguing objects and fascinating galleries. See the uniform Nelson wore at the Battle of Trafalgar, steer a ship into port and fire at pesky pirates.
As per all museums in our wonderful Capital what an absolute joy to visit/ walk around (we parked in Greenwich park and had a 10 minute walk) Lots and lots of history exhibits were outstanding as you would expect .. Disability access everywhere (as nowdays this is expected) so everybody can enjoy the whole experience of what the museum has to offer .. We didnt actuly use the on site cafe but if the cleanliness of the whole site inc outside im pretty sure they would of been superb to sit over a cup of tea to rest your legs.. Before the rest of your sea going adventure continues in the past 5 stars must see
