Old Royal Naval College

Throughout history Greenwich Maritime has been a central hub for the navy and and training students. During the world wars the flatter parts of Greenwich park were used as allotments to feed the nation and help ease the effects of rationing.

Today it is a University building and world heratige site, even being used for backgrounds for films due to the beautifully designed buildings by Christopher Wrenn (16/1700s).
