[2025 Greenwich Attraction] Travel Guide for Queen's House (Updated May)

My recent trip to London and Oxford was an incredible mix of history, culture, and iconic sights! Day 1: London Bridge & Tower I kicked off my adventure by visiting London Bridge and the Tower of London. Seeing these historic landmarks up close was truly captivating, and the views of the River Thames were stunning. Day 2: Greenwich The next day, I explored the charming Greenwich area. The Royal Observatory and the beautiful park offered fantastic views of the city, and wandering around the historic maritime sites was a highlight. Day 3: Free Walking Tour & National Galleries I joined a free walking tour to discover some of London’s most iconic spots, including Buckingham Palace and Westminster. Later, I visited the National Gallery—an absolute treat for any art lover! Day 4: Day Trip to Oxford & Harry Potter Tour A day trip to Oxford was like stepping back in time. The city’s beautiful architecture, cobbled streets, and the prestigious university buildings made it feel like a real-life storybook. As a Harry Potter fan, joining the Harry Potter tour was truly magical—it was fascinating to see the filming locations and learn behind-the-scenes stories! Day 5: Museum Day I dedicated my last day to exploring London’s amazing museums: the British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Natural History Museum. Each one was unique and offered a fascinating glimpse into history, art, and natural wonders. #london #Oxford #myitinerary #travel

Embarked on a majestic journey through Queen’s House Greenwich, where regality met architectural splendor. "A Tapestry of Royalty" adorned the walls, each room a chapter in the story of monarchs and their opulent legacy. The Tulip Stairs, an architectural ballet, led me through centuries of whispered courtly secrets. From the Great Hall's grandeur to the delicacy of the Orangery, every corner echoed with the elegance of a bygone era. As I gazed across Greenwich Park from the Queen’s House, I felt like a time-traveler in a realm where history and beauty harmonized. #RoyalRetreat #GreenwichElegance
