Shape how we manage anti-social behaviour in public spaces
Help us make the Royal Borough of Greenwich a place where everyone is treated with respect. Residents, businesses and visitors are being asked to give feedback on how the Royal Borough of Greenwich manages antisocial behaviour in public spaces through its Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs).
PSPOs help us manage anti-social behaviour in public spaces by providing the council and police with extra powers to act if someone’s behaviour is causing a problem for other members of the public. These powers include issuing a £100 on-the-spot fine, as well as Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices and targeted patrols in hotspot areas.
The orders cover behaviour including using foul or abusive language or threatening or intimidating behaviour, using drugs, riding scooters on the pavement, aggressive or persistent begging and making comments of a sexual or gender-based nature.
The current PSPOs expire on Friday 31 October 2026 , so we would like to know whether residents, businesses and visitors think the current behaviours covered in our PSPOs continue to be a problem and whether they support renewing them. We also want to hear about personal experiences of anti-social behaviour and suggestions on how we could address anti-social behaviour more effectively.
We will be consulting until Wednesday 22 July, and you can complete our online survey at: royalgreenwich.gov.uk/ PSPO-renewal

Where to find cool circus and cabaret for a hot summer in South East London
Circus today is one of the most exciting and inventive art forms around, writes Romilly Schulte
This summer, a space in Woolwich will affirm itself as a new hub of circus and cabaret in London, with its towering ceilings welcoming trapeze artists and aerial artists in an impressive 2026 summer programme.
Woolwich Works, a venue in the Royal Arsenal, will put on an ambitious line-up of spectacle, acrobatics and burlesque this summer and autumn following the success of Luminarium: Myriad immersive installation.
Ade Berry, Woolwich Works’ programmer, was formerly the Artistic Director and joint CEO of Jacksons Lane, a historically innovative circus theatre in Highgate, and this summer’s programme shows how the venue is beginning to establish itself as a fresh centre of London spectacle.
He said: “Circus today is one of the most exciting and inventive art forms around — it can be joyful, political, hilarious, moving and
visually extraordinary all at once.
“This programme brings together internationally-renowned companies, emerging artists, physical comedy, family work and late-night cabaret, creating something that feels genuinely wide-ranging and accessible. We want audiences to discover just how thrilling contemporary circus can be.”
Fanning the flames of the May heatwave this weekend is the season’s opening, adultsonly cabaret, “Sizzling Hot Circus”, choreographed and
directed by Lucy Francis.
Dancers with aerial silk and trapeze artists will transport audiences into what they call their “thrilling, beautiful, fun, sexy, and always spectacular” world.
As ‘Sizzling Hot’ as the show may be, luckily Woolwich Works promises full air-conditioning.
In celebration of Pride Month, “Queer Euphoria” on 19 June will showcase both emerging and established queer talent across circus and cabaret: with pole dancing, drag and ‘boylesque’,
Zaki Muka’s curation promises to honor self-expressive talent.
Queer cabaret “Drag & Fab” will host drag kings, queens and non-binary royalty on 11 July in a night of saucy comedy and audience participation.
You can also expect physical theatre and contemporary clown performances this July, with latenight comedy “Tennish” from silent clown Darryl J Carrington, and the debut show of emerging ‘improv’ talent Harvey Hobb, “Pink Boots and an Alcoholic Sock Puppet”, amongst others.
Nick Williams, Director of Woolwich Works, said: “Woolwich Works is uniquely placed to present ambitious circus and cabaret work because of the sheer scale and flexibility of our spaces.
“From our vast Fireworks Factory, which in a former life was a munitions factory, to the courtyard itself, we can offer artists opportunities that very few London venues can accommodate. “Following the incredible response to the Luminarium earlier this year, it felt like the perfect moment to expand our programme and establish circus as a key part of our artistic identity moving forward.”
Celebrate Learning Disability Week in Greenwich
Greenwich Council has organised a series of events for Learning Disability Week, writes Alex Orr

The week will be dedicated to the talents and contributions of people with learning disabilities in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Greenwich’s Labour-run council has pledged to spread awareness, break down barriers and celebrate the unique abilities of every resident.
Have Your Say Day, which took
place in General Gordon Square, Woolwich on Monday 15th June, brought together local organisations, community groups and service providers, connecting people with learning disabilities to relevant support services.
At Learning Disability Week Sports Day at Eltham Park South on Wednesday 17th June, residents will be invited to participate in sporting events, with medals awarded to everyone involved.
Councillor Mariam Lolavar, Cabinet Member for Health, Adult Social Care and Communities, said: “We want to make sure people with a learning disability feel seen, included, and recognised for
the valuable contributions they make to our communities.
“By celebrating Learning Disability Week, we want to recognise our differences, promote acceptance and create a more inclusive society for all.”
She added: “Through sport, creativity, performance, exhibitions and community events, we’re proud to showcase the talents, self-identity, resilience and dynamism of our learning disability community.
“The events are open to the public, so please do come and join us. We’d love to see you there!”
Keith, who has a learning disability, said: “I am excited to party with all my friends this Learning Disability Week.”
Amanda, who also has a learning disability, added: “This Learning Disability Week I want to tell the staff thank you for looking after me and being kind to me.”

Windrush pioneer Girlyvine
Transport for London launches consultation on the DLR extension
Transport for London has revealed new details on its proposed DLR extension across the River Thames to Thamesmead, writes Cameron Blackshaw, Local Democracy Reporter…
London’s public transport operator has launched a consultation and is asking the capital’s residents to give feedback on its DLR extension proposals.
The consultation opened on June 5 and closes on July 16. Below are the key details from TfL’s plans.
What will the extension look like?
TfL’s proposed DLR extension would branch off from the existing DLR line after Gallions Reach, travelling through the Beckton Riverside area on a viaduct before descending to a new ground-level station in Beckton Riverside to the south of Armada Way.
From here the track would descend underground into a tunnel to cross under the River Thames to continue the journey towards Thamesmead.
The track would come out of the tunnel at Thamesmead onto a viaduct to pass over the Twin Tumps and Thamesmere before terminating at an elevated station in Thamesmead town centre on the current site of Cannon Retail Park.
Why does TfL want to build the DLR extension?
TfL says that both Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead lack direct rail
DLR and new viaducts. This is also where the tunnel boring machine would be launched from.
Two 1.5km tunnels would be excavated beneath the Thames which would provide the river-crossing for the new railway. South of the river in Thamesmead, a shaft will be built where the tunnel boring machine will arrive alongside new viaduct structures and the new Thamesmead station.
Once the machine makes its way south of the river, it will be turned around and sent back below the Thames to make the second of the two tunnels.
services. It said this lack of direct public transport has “limited local access to jobs, education, and services for decades”.
As both areas are being targeted to deliver thousands of new homes over the coming years, better transport links will be vital in connecting these new hubs to the rest of London. TfL hopes the DLR extension will support the construction of up to 30,000 new homes and create up to 10,000 jobs.
The extension will also cut journey times. Travelling to the City would drop from about an hour to 35–40 minutes, with trains initially running every 8–10 minutes.
It would also strengthen East London’s cross-river links which are sorely lacking, as well as supporting a modal shift from cars to a more sustainable transport mode.
How would the extension be built?
TfL has said it would take five years to build the DLR extension, with work taking place in Beckton Riverside, Thamesmead and beneath the River Thames.
In Beckton, the Beckton Riverside station would be built alongside a new junction with the existing
TfL would need four worksites in Beckton Riverside to facilitate all of the works, all of which would be located between the former Beckton Gas Works and the Beckton DLR depot and Armada Way. There would also be a sizable site between Armada Way and the river.
In Thamesmead there will be two worksites, one in Gallions Reach Park and another on land currently taken up by Cannon Retail Park. The retail park would be demolished to make way for the Thamesmead DLR station.
What impact will the work have on existing DLR services?
Throughout most of construction, TfL predicts the DLR network would not be affected as most of the work needed takes place away from the current Beckton branch.
When the DLR will be affected is when the newly built railway is connected to the existing network. TfL said this can only be safely completed when no trains are running, so there would be limited closures over a series of weekends or during a longer planned period to facilitate this.
How much will the work cost?
TfL has estimated that the entire project could cost around £1.5billion.
As the plans are yet to be finalised, this total could vary subject to further design work, surveys and investigations and confirming how the extension could be built.
As part of the Autumn Budget in November 2025, the Government announced their commitment to the scheme, including financial support to help TfL deliver it. This includes a mechanism that enables the Mayor of London to raise funds through borrowing to pay for the extension’s construction.
This borrowing will be repaid over time using direct funding from the Government and new funding unlocked by the scheme, such as the fares revenue from ridership on the extended portion of the DLR route.
According to TfL, this funding model builds on the approach successfully implemented on previous projects such as Crossrail (Elizabeth line) and the Northern line extension.
What are the next steps?
Once TfL concludes its consultation, it will start to finalise its proposals and then get ready to submit a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) application to the Secretary of State for Transport to make a decision on the scheme.
A TWAO can authorise the construction, operation and maintenance of new transport infrastructure. It can also provide compulsory purchase powers for acquiring property interests and rights.
The land and property needed for the extension would be acquired either voluntarily or by compulsory purchase powers granted through a TWAO. TfL is seeking to reach an agreement with landowners to acquire land needed for the scheme in advance of the TWAO application.
TfL is not planning on demolishing any homes to build the extension.
A TWAO application could also be accompanied by a request to the Secretary of State for Transport to give a direction for deemed planning permission for the works to be authorised by a TWAO, meaning that planning permission could be granted by the Government rather than the local planning authority, in this case Greenwich and Newham councils.
Subject to a funding agreement with the Government and the necessary TWAO approval, construction on the DLR extension could begin by 2029 with the extension and new stations at Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead potentially opening in the early 2030s
What will the future of the DLR look like?
When the extension opens, TfL initially expects to run trains every 8–10 minutes to and from Thamesmead (via Beckton Riverside) and trains every 8–10 minutes to and from Beckton. Together, this would mean a train every 4–5 minutes between Canning Town and Gallions Reach.
TfL will need more trains to deliver this level of service. The destination of trains from Thamesmead and Beckton Riverside beyond Canning Town will be confirmed closer to the extension opening and TfL said it will be informed by wider network and customer needs.
TfL said it is currently focused on extending the DLR to just Thamesmead, and any further extension, for example into Bexley, would need more detailed development on the best route and destination and be subject to a new funding agreement.

Councils disappointed with summer Thameslink cuts
Two South London councils have voiced their disappointment at cuts to Thameslink services passing through their boroughs this summer, writes Cameron Blackshaw, Local Democracy Reporter...
Councillors from both Greenwich and Bexley have written to the Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander and the Chief Executive of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to urge them to reconsider the timetable changes.
GTR said it was making the temporary cuts to reflect a fall of up to 20 per cent in summer holiday demand on its services. This comes just days after the Government brought the UK’s largest railway operator into public ownership on June 1.
Between July 18 and August 29, services between Rainham and Luton have been slashed from every 30 minutes to once an hour on Saturdays and during the middle of the day throughout the week. Trains will still run every half hour during peak times.
The route, which begins in Kent at one end, passes through Greenwich and Bexley and stops at major transport hubs in both boroughs, such as Abbey Wood and Woolwich Arsenal.
Bexley Council’s Deputy Leader, Cllr Cameron Smith, said the lack of communication between GTR and his council before the cuts were announced was “especially unacceptable” given that the trains were now only running once an hour.
Cllr Smith raised concerns that the cuts would result in Bexley residents facing longer train journeys, congestion and illegal parking increasing in the borough – especially around Abbey Wood station – and that the move would negatively impact retail, leisure and hospitality businesses across Greater London.
Writing to Ms Alexander, he said: “Bexley residents will be disappointed that the first act following the Government’s decision to nationalise Govia Thameslink Railway will be to slash services serving our borough. Residents had hoped that the Thameslink service might be brought to additional local stations, such as Belvedere and Erith.”
Cllr Smith also communicated fears that this temporary timetable change could
lead to a more permanent rail service cut in the future. He asked for assurances that this would not be the case.
Across the aisle in Bexley, Deputy Labour Leader of the Opposition, Cllr Jeremy Fosten, also voiced his disappointment in a similar letter to the Transport Secretary and GTR. He feared that the timetable changes would not be temporary and would be a “cut by stealth”.
Cllr Fosten said: “Cuts during the summer holidays will have a huge impact, as rail usage increases to allow families to go on holiday, be that abroad or within the UK.
“Bexley residents will be particularly impacted by Thameslink’s cuts as the service provides a direct link to Luton Airport and an easy connection to Gatwick, as well as connecting passengers to the Eurostar at St Pancras International.
“It is in no one’s interest to make these journeys longer and more difficult. The Elizabeth Line showed the nation that if you build transport infrastructure, the passengers will come. We struggle to see how these cuts help promote public transport usage, or indeed the connectivity of our borough.”
Across the border in Greenwich, similar concerns have been raised. Greenwich Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Cllr Calum O’Byrne Mulligan, said: “A reliable and regular rail service is vital for residents right across Greenwich, and so any reduction in services—even if just for a short
period of time—through any part of our borough is incredibly disappointing.
“We have urged Thameslink to reverse their planned service changes through the summer. These routes are important not only for visitors to places like Greenwich Town Centre, one of London’s busiest tourist destinations, but also for residents travelling down to Kent and the coast without relying on cars.
“We fear any reduction in service frequency will not only be inconvenient for residents and visitors, but may impact local businesses as well, at an incredibly important time of the year.
“We’re disappointed that Thameslink failed to give us formal notification of the plans, and have formally requested that they reconsider any potential timetable changes during the school holidays and busiest tourism season.”
Greenwich’s Green Opposition Leader, Cllr Tamasin Rhymes, said: “Given the cost pressures on those using public transport and our need to move more people to use as much public transport as possible it is really unhelpful that services are being reduced across the borough.
“We have already had reductions to several bus routes with very little warning and this further undermines the ability of residents, visitors and workers to travel sustainably.”
In response to Greenwich and Bexley councils, GTR said it was making the changes to reflect a fall in
demand for the Rainham and Luton line over the summer holidays. The rail operator also confirmed the changes were only temporary.
A GTR spokesperson said: “From July 18 to August 29 we are temporarily adjusting our timetable to reflect a fall of up to 20 per cent in summer holiday demand.
“The changes across the wider network affect just 2 per cent of our normal services, focusing on quieter trains where alternative services are available. This reduces the taxpayer subsidy and generates savings that can be reinvested to improve services year-round.
“Thameslink services on the route through Greenwich to Rainham will still be half-hourly as they are today in the weekday rush hour with trains then running hourly during the middle of the day and on Saturdays when fewer people travel. There are also alternative Southeastern services to London at these stations.
“We are boosting services where demand is growing between July and September, including services to East Grinstead connecting with the Bluebell Railway and early morning Gatwick flights.
“This demand-led approach will also help us introduce more services later this year, including, from December, doubling the number of Gatwick Express services per hour alongside twice the number of off-peak trains between London and Hertford North.”

The Docklands History Survey
Just recently I’ve done a couple of book reviews as one of these articles and I was thinking about doing another one - except that is about a book published 40 years ago. I was reminded of it by an obituary for George Nicholson – he was a member of the Greater London Council for Bermondsey in its 1980s final days. He died back in February this year, and I’ll come back to him in a moment. More to the point is a review of the book by Chris Ellmers, which is on the website of the Thames and Docklands History Group. (https://www.tdhg.org.uk/stories/the-storyof-dockland-%E2%80%93-the-book-that-is!)
Chris has given a number of talks to Greenwich industrial History Society in some of our series of evening talks. He was the first curator of what is now the London Museum Docklands – and goes back many, many years with that tangled project - a new generation will see a smart interesting museum and know nothing of what really went on. Chris has produced this article about a book which was published in 1986 – and which was intended as part of a project on the industrial history of Docklands.
It’s very difficult for me to say I’ll start at the beginning, because I really wasn’t there at the beginning. In 1980 I was working in a dreadful job in Greenwich but I was being paid by something called ‘Docklands Urban Aid’ - but without the first clue why. As a bit of background: the Docklands Joint Committee had been set up in 1974 to ‘regenerate’ the area as older smaller docks closed and it included the Greenwich Peninsula. When Thatcher set up the London Docklands Development Corporation in 1981 Greenwich was strangely left out. It was said at the time that Michael Heseltine made the decision to omit Greenwich after flying over the area in a helicopter. I’m very tempted now to write to Heseltine –‘give us the real reason, one that makes sense – you’re 95 now and you can do it.’
By 1982 I was working in central
London for a housing association run by an eccentric lady whose husband had once been considered as a Tory Prime Minister. We were dependent on grant money, some of it from the Greater London Council. These were the heady years of Ken Livingstone –new energy and new ideas all bouncing around. I don’t know how I first heard about the Docklands History Survey and the book it published in 1984. I was very excited and on the day of publication sent our office boy over to County Hall to get me a copy. Yes!! Greenwich sites were listed in there.
I don’t want necessarily to list down the Greenwich sites in the Survey – the only copy I now have is a bit – er –compromised. Some confusion over Deptford is explained by the then recent change in Borough boundaries but Greenwich High Road is, and was, in actual Greenwich. It has five separate entries for Enderby Wharf, and ten for East Greenwich Gasworks. Otherwise away from the Peninsula there is only the Charlton Tram depot and the Barrier. It covers a wide smattering of Woolwich sites, totally inadequate - but in 1984 we would have thought it marvellously detailed.
I learnt eventually about the steering group for the Survey - but I am still very unclear about formal links with the Greater London Council and Councillor
Mary Mills
Nicholson. Chris Ellmers from the
London
member. He was joined by John Earl and Paul Calvocoressi from GLC Historic Buildings Division, Alan Pearsall from the National Maritime Museum and Denis Smith from North East London Poly – all now, sadly, gone. In addition Peter Dean represented the Docklands Joint Committee.
I don’t remember how I found out about the Docklands History Group and why went along to a meeting at the Barbican - very nervous and conscious of my ignorance. I remember a talk by the LDDC Conservation Officer who was under a lot of pressure from the audience – at one point someone from the back yelling ‘you’re a liar’. The audience was nearly all men; many standing at the back and I dare not quote here some of the things being said.
Perhaps I should note that it was not until 1987 that LDDC produced Docklands Heritage: Conservation and Regeneration. I have never got hold of a copy, although I did consider stealing one from a pub in Ide Hill. It can never have been widely circulated. But, back to the Docklands History Group meeting - the other thing that happened there was the announcement that the GLC was going to fund a group which would oversee the production of a number of books and projects about industrial remains in Docklands. They had appointed
George
Museum of
was a
a research officer Dr.Robert Carr, and secured a base at the then North East London Polytechnic, Barking Campus.
To fast forward to 1986 - the only publication of the Survey was ‘Dockland’ – the subject of Chris Ellmers’ article. I note too that even in 1986 the Survey and its steering group is not mentioned on the title page – only GLC and NELP appear. There is however a three page forward by George Nicholson outlining much of the background to the project and also discussing what was going on and says ‘historians of the future will study and judge the events of this extraordinary time’.
I said that I am writing this in response to obituaries to George Nicholson. The ones I have seen note the great success of Borough Market, and Coin Street community builders and much, much more. He worked to set up bodies which would effect change – and did so successfully. There was also the London Rivers Association – I went to many of their meetings and was very aware of input from Greenwich locals – we were very interested on reports of how riversides were managed elsewhere, particularly that in Kolkata. I was also impressed by their report on shipbuilding – still very active on the Greenwich Peninsula in the 1980s and early 1990s.
I have not seen however any mention of the Dockland History Survey in Nicholson’s many obituaries or of the attempt by the Greater London Council to leave a legacy of a truthful history of Docklands. The Council was of course abolished by the Thatcher government in 1986 and its assets sold off. I am afraid remaining copies of the Dockland History Survey ended up in the Edmonton Destructor.
So, to return to ‘Dockland’. It was launched
MY BOOKS – CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
By Dr Mary Mills
at County Hall in the very last weeks of the GLC by a platform made up of the Mayors of the appropriate London Boroughs –an event I have never seen a report of. I cannot recall anything that was said or, pretender as I am, what I said to get myself there. I managed to wangle a lift there with the Mayor in the Greenwich limo.
What Greenwich sites did Dockland look at? It’s a list of sites demolished or in other use. A few survive and are still in use - Deptford Pumping Station (still also used for Tideway) - Greenwich Power Station (still in use by London Underground) - 19th century houses (Ceylon Place cottages alongside the Pilot Pub now listed)Angerstein Wharf (still there and working) - Thames Barrier (well, yes) - Woolwich ferry (running with new boats) – Woolwich foot tunnel (think it’s closed) - Thames Barrier (well, yes) – McDonald’s Hamburger Restaurant (first ever in England) –Woolwich railway tunnels (well, yes)
Several other buildings listed survive in other uses - covered shipbuilding slipway, (‘Olympia’ still there awaiting ‘development) - Mumford’s granary (now housing) – Enderby Wharf as Submarine Cables Ltd (the factory is still there and at work!) - Enderby House (now a pub) - Fire station (now housing) –Woolwich Coffee Tavern (now shops) – So-called Tramshed (now the Youth Theatre) the Odeon cinema (now a church) - Granada cinema (now a cathedral).
Under the heading of ‘Deptford’ there was Deptford Royal Dockyard, (not now in Greenwich anymore) - John Penn’s boiler shop (now rebuilt as Paynes Wharf and shown to be a railway building) - Deptford Electric Power Generating Station (then still in use).
In Greenwich itself they listed – Power

That leaves a number of sites in the Arsenal – then still closed to almost everyone. I understand that the Survey was given a publishable list of buildings from an official source and excluded from seeing them.
So what happened to the Docklands History Survey? Basically it became a sub section of the North East London Polytechnic. I went and met them as part of my job with Docklands Forum - they had published a couple of what were basically picture books, but by then many such books were appearing. There was no sign of the Survey Committee or their research worker – and they didn’t want to join the Forum.

At The Heart Of The Community
CACT participants step onto The Valley pitch
Participants from a range of Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) programmes recently enjoyed the opportunity to take to the pitch at The Valley thanks to the support of Christopher Ward, Charlton Athletic’s Official Time and Sleeve Partner.
The donation of pitch hire time from Christopher Ward enabled a number of CACT activities to take place on the club’s famous pitch in SE7, including the Post-16 Valley Cup tournament, a girls’ Post-16 fixture, a Walking Football session and a dedicated CACT staff match.
The Valley Cup saw a number of teams compete for the coveted trophy, including sides from CACT’s Post-16 Football and Education Academies based at Sparrows Lane, Cleeve Park School and Folkestone Invicta. Participants from CACT’s girls’ Post-16 programme also took to the pitch against a side from Hampshire FA. CACT’s Post-16 programme is aimed at boys and girls aged 16-19 who are interested in combining their studies with the life of a professional footballer, and both the football and educational
element of the academy are fully-funded. Visit cact.org.uk/ post-16 for more information.
Meanwhile, participants from CACT’s Walking Football programme also enjoyed a special session at The Valley. The programme, aimed at men aged 50 and over, promotes physical activity, wellbeing and social connection through a non-contact version of the game. Visit cact.org.uk/menshealth for more information.
Jason Morgan, CACT CEO, said: “Playing on The Valley pitch is a privilege, and Christopher Ward provided the opportunity to extend this to participants across our Post-16 and Walking football programmes. We have been fortunate over the years to have sessions on the pitch, but to have
a full day of pitch hire created added value to programmes we deliver. Thank you to everyone who made this happen.”
Christopher Ward became Charlton Athletic’s Official Time and Sleeve Partner in 2025, with both organisations sharing a commitment to supporting the local community. The donation forms part of the brand’s ongoing support of the club and further supports CACT’s work to create opportunities, improve health and wellbeing, and inspire positive change across south-east London and Kent.
Both Charlton and CACT would like to thank Christopher Ward for their generous support and for helping to create unforgettable experiences for participants across CACT programmes.

Enjoy a summer of culture with over 40 free events and activities in Royal Greenwich
Another incredible summer of free art, culture and events funded by the council kicks off in Royal Greenwich this June – and it’s set to be better than ever.
From art installations to the spirit of carnival, we’re bringing you over 40 free, diverse, accessible, family friendly events and activities across the whole borough from now until September, supported by the Mayor of London and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

And as part of Ignite our Cultural Impact Award, our young emerging producers are set to unveil their new culture manifesto in General Gordon Square later this summer.
“We’re working with Greenwich Parks Forum to bring ParksFest to a park near you. Plus, Greenwich+Docklands International Festival returns to the borough for another spectacular year. And it’s all free for residents and visitors to enjoy.
“London was just named top city globally for culture – and Royal Greenwich is showing the world exactly why!”
Our summer of culture forms part of a £2.3million investment into arts and culture in the Royal Borough of Greenwich as part of the council’s Getting Things Done programme.
