Shopping in Greenwich- A Great Experience
Apart from historical jaunts, shopping in Greenwich can be a wonderful experience. Some of Greenwich's markets are truly colorful and they have existed for centuries together. Many shops in Greenwich sell antiques, art and craft, bizarre bric-a-bracs that you would never ever find in the shopping malls. A visit to the undercover market that was granted a Royal Charter in the year 1849 could be one of the most exhilarating shopping experiences you ever undertook.
See Cutty Sark at Greenwich too
At the Greenwich London dry dock, the world's only surviving tea clipper - "Cutty Sark" can be seen. Cutty Sark's enormous sail made her the fastest sailing ship and she was used extensively for the extremely profitable tea trade with China. She was also used for the wool trade with Australia between 1885-1895. For a brief while she was sold to the Portuguese and was used for 30 long years. In the year 1938, Cutty Sark was presented to the Thames Nautical Training College where she was used as training vessel. After a massive dose of renovation she was placed at the Greenwich dry dock and since then, fourteen million visitors from all over the world have come to visit her at Greenwich London.
