Greenwich Park is one of the vaster Royal Park of London. It is located on the south bank of Thames River. I was impressed with how big it was! You can see green all around you. There are huge lawns, lots of trees and bushes, gray squirrels which have no fear about people around. There are tiny street throughout the park where people jog, run, ride bikes or just relax theirselves sitting on benches.
Approximately in the center of the park, there is a knoll and, on the top of it, the Royal Observatory. Through the building passes the Prime Meridiane: this is the benchmark for measure the longitude.
In the museum,some animations teach about the universe's birth; other posters and screens show solar system, planets, galaxy and all about space. Who is keen on this matter must go! :)
I leave you here in order to tempt anyone to visit Greenwich Park and all its great beauty.
