London's oldest enclosed Royal Park, first established in 1433, Greenwich Park
Includes:: several notable buildings & offers some of the finest views of London & the River Thames. Designers who worked here include Andre le Notre, the French royal landscape designer who laid out the gardens at Versailles, & Inido Jones, who designed the Queen's House. On the northern boundary lies the old Royal Naval College by Christopher Wren, perhaps the greatest baroque building complex in Britain. the park itself is host to herds of deer, & its noble avenues of trees, its spring daffodils & its huge expanses of grass have long made it a favourite haunt of the people & animals of South London looking for fresh air & open spaces. Rising above the trees at the centre is the great dome of the Royal Observatory, home to the Prime Meridian Line, & world famous in the annals of navigation & timekeeping. This collection of outstanding photographs captures the magic of the park through the year, & the thoughtful, well informed text highlights its many notable & remarkable features.
