Culture& is excited to launch Stepping Through Time: Walking Tour of Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, a collaboration with Smartify that retraces the British Empire in the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.
You will stroll through Montagu House, the Royal Observatory, the Greenwich Maridian, Maze Hill, Queen’s House, the Old Royal Naval College, the Painted Hall, West Gate Globes, the Cutty Sark, St Alfege Church, and gaze upon Deptford Dockyard. Follow us on Instagram for exciting Time, Space and Empire events in sync with the tour.
You can access the tour via your browser or download the tour beforehand via the Smartify app. The image on each of the direction stops shows the site you are looking for.
Find all stops on Google Maps.
Stop 5: Queen’s House – The Armada Portrait and Stop 8: Painted Hall are ticketed and we recommend booking to guarantee entry. The rest of the stops are outdoors and no booking is needed. There are plenty of benches along the route to take rest breaks. You can sit and listen to the stops or walk around the sites. Take care when moving across busy roads.
This tour is part of Time, Space and Empire, a cross-arts programme led by Culture&, exploring the concepts of time, space, and the development of Britain’s sea power during the expansion of its former empire in relation to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site in Southeast London and the Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
