Greenwich (Royal) Park

 
Greenwich Park London's oldest Royal Park
Greenwich (Royal) Park enjoys panoramic views over Docklands and the City of London, and is the oldest of London's royal parks. The park was stocked with deer in 1515, and their descendants still roam in the area, known as The Wilderness, today.
In 1662 Charles II had the park landscaped in a style inspired by the French gardener André le Notre who planned the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. You can climb the steep hill that divides the north and south of the park or visit the flower gardens, cafe, children's boating lake and playground.

London 2012 venue

The park will be used as the venue for Olympic and Paralympic equestrian and modern pentathlon events during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
