Greenwich, London Magnet

Greenwich is renowned worldwide for being the 'home' of time, with the Greenwich Meridian. It is also a naval centre for London, home to the National Maritime Museum and former naval college of elegant 19th century buildings. Situated on the the south bank of the River Thames it faces across to the docklands area and Canary Wharf. This photo taken from up by the Royal Observatory looks down on the splendour of the Maritime Museum and the adjacent courtyard, with the spectacular skyline of Canary Wharf in the background, standing out against a clear blue sky.
