Funky has been called OMF and DADDY in the past. I PROPOSE he is now referred to as "yummy mummy".
Top up, Sue?
You'd THINK I would be pregnant by now
It's NOT for WANT of TRYING![]()

ATTENTION LONDON PEEPS
I'm coming up tomorrow, and as the weather is looking like it's going to be beautiful (sunny and 23 degrees C, apparently), I was thinking of knocking the idea of gallery hopping in Hoxton on the head and spending the day out of doors. Now I'm DEFINITELY doing Greenwich, and am thinking of going from there to Blackheath as well. Not many people have rated it here, but various friends have always told me I'd love it. Is it worth it?
Yes, Blackheath on a sunny day is a real treat
FEARLESS FEMALE
And looking at a map, I can walk through the park from Greenwich all the way there? It looks like a fair old hike, but I don't mind that if the weather is good.
Yeah, it's within walking distance on a nice day
FEARLESS FEMALE
Greenwich will always live in my heart. On a sunny day (and if all the construction work that was happening while I was there has actually finished) is absolutely amazing. Greenwich Park is beautiful. I like Blackheath too, but not as much as Greenwich. But yes, lolly, do try and visit. It's all worth it.
You will LOVE Greenwich and Blackheath tomorrow in the sun. How are you getting to Greenwich?
I think you should still do the DLR especially in the nice weather
Get the Bakerloo line to Baker Street then the Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf and then on the DLR all through Canary Wharf to Cutty Sark - Lovely!
Blackheath is STUNNING
although there's not much to do there, so you might just want to fit it in as part of a diversion to your journey. You can just walk through it and then leave again, but it's so nice to walk around. It's a little lost village in the urban jungle of SE London, so it's quite the sight. All the pretty houses and greenery. Much of it got lost in the 50s, too. It's quite magic.
I've not been to Greenwich for YEARS, but visiting the park was probably one of my favourite childhood memories of London.
Blackhealth might be a nice place for Lolly to stop for lunch, but yes, you can walk the highstreet in 5 minutes flat and other than that the Heath is just that - big open pretty spaces of green
What a GLORIOUS day
I didn't get to Blackheath in the end, as I spent so much time just pottering around in Greenwich and Greenwich Park. And I guessed had I made it all the way there, it would have been more complicated to get back from, rather than heading straight back from Cutty Sark.
The DLR IS amazing, isn't it? I managed to get right at the front as wellHow wonderful that people unfortunate enough to live in Lewisham get to commute and do that every day.
I have friends visiting this weekend and Sunday is currently free - I know the weather won't be great but what is there to DO and SEE around Greenwich? And is it worth doing on an average weather day?
I need specific instructions if possible
YOU'RE WELCOME LOLS
(I think you were going to Greenwich anyway but I hope you don't mind if I take full credit for your amazing day)
show pictures so people can see what an amazing view it is from the middle of the park. Did you go into the Greenwich Meridian building? I think it's only a cafe and the world's smallest museum but still. It was already shut by the time we got up there.
I remember one time I waited politely for the masses of people to get off the DLR train and then as soon as the last person stepped out the doors shut and the train drove away. I couldn't believe it.
I didn't think, I just posted
Cool pictures of London
