GREENWICH PARK LONDON

Even North Londoners head south of the river for the best view of the capital. Atop a steep hill beside the Royal Observatory centuries of London's past, and present, is laid out like a picnic. There's Greenwich's Old Royal Naval College and the famous curve in the Thames, then Canary Wharf, the City of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. Nearby Nunhead cemetery offers another magical city view that few Londoners know about.
