1 Greenwich Church St
St Alfege Church is Greenwich’s parish church and one of the clearest architectural markers in the town centre. Built on a site tied to Archbishop Alfege’s martyrdom in 1012, the present church is an early 18th-century Hawksmoor rebuild with a calm, weighty interior and a strong street presence. Most visitors come for a short heritage stop within a wider Greenwich walk.
Time to spend 0.2–2 hrs
Shad Thames
Shad Thames is a compact riverside district in Bermondsey where 19th-century warehouse fronts, narrow lanes and overhead bridges still shape the street pattern. It is less a single sight than a walkable pocket of docklands history, best explored on foot between Tower Bridge and London Bridge. Expect brick façades, quiet corners, photo stops and nearby cafés rather than a formal attraction.
Time to spend 0.5–4 hrs
5b Greenwich Market
Greenwich Market is a long-running covered market in Maritime Greenwich, where antiques, crafts, gifts and street food sit among some of London’s best-known heritage sights. Compact and easy to browse, it works well as a short stop or a longer wander between the Cutty Sark, the riverfront and Greenwich Park. The mood is lively but manageable, with a local feel beneath the tourist traffic.
Price level $$Time to spend 0.5–2.5 hrs
Greenwich Foot Tunnel
One of London’s more unusual crossings, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel runs under the Thames between Greenwich and the Isle of Dogs. Opened in 1902, it is still used daily by walkers and cyclists pushing bikes, making it part shortcut, part heritage curiosity. The tiled, enclosed passage is plain but atmospheric, with lifts or stairs at either end and riverfront walks waiting above ground.

Trinity Church Square
Trinity Church Square is a compact Georgian garden square in Bermondsey, framed by early 19th-century terraces and a former church now used as Henry Wood Hall. It is less a sightseeing stop than a quiet urban composition: brick façades, railings, trees, and a formal central space that rewards slow walking and photography. Expect a short, low-key visit with a strong conservation-area feel.
