Greenwich Park includes the Old Royal Naval College and National Maritime Museum, which, together with Greenwich Park, are part of a World Heritage Site.

Greenwich Park is London’s oldest Royal Park, dating back to 1433. It has been a World Heritage Site since 1997. Within the Park is The Royal Observatory and the home of Greenwich Mean Time at Longitude 0°.

Where is it?

Greenwich Park is on the south bank of the River Thames in south east London. It is a great place to see views of central London and the Docklands.

Mainline trains and the Docklands Light Railway make it easy to get to from central London and other London 2012 venues.
 

Getting ready

A temporary Cross Country course is being designed for the Park. The course will be created in 2012.

A temporary main arena for 23,000 spectators will be built in 2012 within the grounds of the National Maritime Museum.

After the Games

The temporary structures will be taken down after the Games.
