In Deepest Greenwich

Short trip to Greenwich recently. But even on a non wargaming trip there are still things to find and think about 

Good view of the Cutty Sark
Some views of the Navel College 


The Trafalgar Tavern. Well worth a visit
Lord Nelson loitering outside the Trafalgar Tavern in the hope that someone will buy him a tot of Rum
No ships in site
General Wolfe of Quebec
There is always a ship in a bottle to be found in Greenwich 


William IV
HMS Belfast (not actually in Greenwich but we went out on the river one day
General Gordon of Khartoum 
The Russell Hotel. A significant site. I attended my first wargames show there with my Dad in 1972. Little did he know what he had started! I still have the two Napoleonic Minifigs I bought that afternoon.
Peter the Great

Your intrepid blogger takes a rest. (I am the one on the right)
