Hotel Near Greenwich

The London Kensington Forum is an excellent choice of hotel accommodation for visitors wishing to explore London’s Greenwich.

Favoured home of the Tudor monarchs (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were both born there), with a proud and fascinating naval and seafaring past, Greenwich is just 20 minutes from central London.

At its heart is Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site and famous for many historic landmarks. The National Maritime Museum displays Britain’s long seafaring history, where you can learn about Nelson, maritime uniforms, 20th century sea power, exploration, discovery and much more.

The Royal Observatory stands as a monument to navigational research. It is the original home of Greenwich Mean Time, the source of the Meridian line that divides the East from the West. The Observatory galleries unravel time, space and astronomy and the Planetarium lets visitors explore the heavens.

You can also view the inspirational architecture of Sir Christopher Wren at the Old Naval College and the awe-inspiring architecture of the Queen’s House. Enjoy the breathtaking views from Greenwich Park, which will host the Equestrian events at the 2012 Olympic Games.  And with bustling street markets and cosy Dickensian pubs, Greenwich has something for everybody.

Situated on the River Thames in South East London, Greenwich is just a short journey from our central London hotel, the London Kensington Forum.
