Top 3 things we love about the area:

• The neighbourhood has excellent local finds, we particularly enjoy the breakfast at Avocado Cafe right on the corner of our block and delicious sourdough bread from Fingal's Bakery on the main street. 

• We are regulars at the National Maritime Museum, where the kids enjoy the Ahoy Gallery and we often take a stroll in Greenwich Market (where we recommend the green thai curry from the food market!)

• We cannot not mention Greenwich Park which has been the main reason we moved to the area, it has got lovely big playgrounds for the kids including the newest Cove behind the Maritime Museum. We also enjoy lovely walks in the park without the children which we can fit even in a lunch break due to our close proximity.
