Spring walking route through Greenwich Park

While the full route is shown on the map below, the key points are also listed here for your convenience. You can begin at whichever stop is closest to where you enter the park, and you can take the circuit in either direction at your own pace.

• St. Mary’s Gate, St. Mary’s Lodge and the Herb Garden: a calm entrance area where historic buildings frame a small, fragrant garden of herbs and seasonal planting
• The Avenue: a long, tree‑lined route that cuts through the heart of the park, offering broad views up towards the hill
• The Rose Garden: a formal terrace of roses and seasonal colour set against the backdrop of Ranger’s Lodge
• The Dell: a sheltered hollow with winding paths and varied planting that creates a quiet, enclosed feel
• The Flower Garden: an ornamental landscape of ponds, borders and sweeping lawns designed for seasonal displays
• The Wilderness deer park: a protected enclosure where fallow deer move through ancient woodland and open glades
• Ignatius Sancho Café: a relaxed spot for refreshments, named in honour of the writer and composer who lived nearby
• Roman Temple: a small archaeological site marking the remains of a Roman place of worship on the park’s eastern side
• The Pavilion Café: a popular meeting point with outdoor seating and views across the surrounding lawns
• The Royal Observatory: a landmark building perched on the hilltop, central to Greenwich’s scientific and navigational history
• General Wolfe Statue and the Grand Ascent viewpoint: a dramatic lookout offering one of London’s most iconic panoramas across the river and skyline
