Greenwich
Did You Know?Greenwich, London is an area of London just south-east of the City of London. It’s first mentioned in a Saxon charter in 918 as “Grenowic” or “green settlement.” As London grew and prospered, Greenwich eventually became an area dedicated to maritime pursuits, eventually becoming the home of the Royal Navy College The Greenwich Foot Tunnel that connects Greenwich with the Isle of Dogs is 1,215 feet long and 50 feet at its deepest point under the River Thames. This impressive walkway sees over 1.5 million pedestrians each year. The buildings of the Old Royal Navy College in Greenwich doubled for Washington, D.C. in the film Patriot Games. This isn’t the only time the ORNC has featured in a film as it also served as the location for the climatic battle in Thor, The Dark World. King Henry VIII was born at the Palace of Placentia Greenwich which existed where the Old Royal Navy College stands today. His daughters, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I, were also born in Greenwich. The London Fan Museum is located in Greenwich. You might not think that it could have much in it, but the museum’s collection includes over 3,500 fans, the oldest of which dates to the 11thCentury.
