A Sunday Afternoon In Greenwich

Today, after much deliberation on which of London's Sunday Markets we should peruse, we took the tube to Greenwich. Less than two minutes from the Cutty Sark tube stop, is Greenwich market. It's bursting at the seams with vintage clothing, handmade scarves (I bought a beautiful striped one), used books, potted plants, funky coasters (Dad got four that were Liverpool themed), and various knickknacks. I could spend hours sifting through the treasures in the market, and the shops nearby (a favorite was 360 Degrees Vintage: old navy uniforms, Dior silk handkerchiefs, and brightly colored gowns).

Wandering further into this new part of London, we find Greenwich University. A gorgeous campus with old stone buildings, a clock tower and compass tower, and open green lawn, we stayed for another few hours taking in the sun and surroundings. A quick pick-me-up of tea, white chocolate and passion fruit cheesecake, a double chocolate muffin, and a white chocolate brownie at a museum cafe was the perfect ending to our day in Greenwich. The market is a  must, especially if you're looking for unique London souvenirs. And if you have a sunny afternoon with nothing to do, the University campus is a great spot to lie on the grass to read a book, take a nap, and people watch.
