Wondering where to live in London? Consider Greenwich. Greenwich is located on the south bank of the River Thames in South-East London. It’s an absolutely beautiful place to live with lots of green space and tree-lined roads. It’s very villagey and feels safe in atmosphere compared to other parts of London. Location-wise, it’s situated close to Central London and has good connections to the City of London via the DLR. The main attractions in Greenwich are the Observatory, the National Maritime Museum and the Cutty Sark, which is expected to reopen in Spring 2011. Greenwich is a reasonably expensive area of town to live in and caters well for young professionals and families. With a small town centre, the nightlife isn’t extensive; if you want to be out till all hours, then you should head into town, but if you like amazing, traditional English pubs, then you’ll love it here. The Richard I and Greenwich Union, located next door to each other on Royal Hill are the best examples of lovely pubs in the area.
