Head to The Espresso Room and order a flat white to have one of the best coffees in London!
The temporary exhibitions are always worth a look, no more so than the current Maps exhibition. Reasonably good for free wifi, but can be patchy. Love the quirky gift shop.

The recent restoration has left the house in incredibly beautiful condition, and it's free to visit!
We couldn't decide between the sandwiches, cakes, scones or tarts - so tried them all. Made all the more fun after a rummage in their dressing-up box.
Who cares what the coffee is like. It's got to be one of the best places for people watching in London.
Much more intimate than the bigger boat bars further upstream - absolutely worth giving it a try.

Excellent guides in each of the magnificently Gothic Rooms. You'll need to book in advance, especially in summer. Superb three hours spent here
Great place to go with kids, particularly when the weather is good. Take a picnic though as pound for pound the cafe is probably one of the most expensive places to eat in London for what you get....
Located in a bluebell wood on a hill in Greenwich. A magical place that appeals to all. From its observation deck (higher than the dome of St Paul's Cathedral) you get a stunning panorama of London.
Glorious garden within Richmond Park, with little paths lined with camelias and other flowers, water, little bridges and ponds. In spring it's simply magical.
