We'll meet at the Greenwich Park Bandstand before settling nearby to create our picnic base.

Whether you're coming on your own or with friends, everyone is welcome.
It's a relaxed afternoon of good food, great conversations, and meeting new people.

Throughout the afternoon, feel free to split into smaller groups to explore the park, discover hidden corners, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery.

🌳 Things to Explore

🌸 Flower Garden

• A beautiful enclosed garden that's perfect for a peaceful stroll.
• Please note: no ball games or cycling.

🦌 The Deer Park

• Keep an eye out for the resident deer in the south-east corner of the park.

🌳 Woodlands & Hills

• Explore woodland paths.
• Climb the hills for panoramic views across London.

🌅 Sunset Finale
We'll wrap up the picnic around 9:00pm, then head to the Royal Observatory to watch the sunset (expected around 9:09pm).
It's one of London's best viewpoints and well worth staying for if you can.

💡 Fun Fact
Ever noticed a bright green laser stretching across the night sky?
That's the Prime Meridian Laser, projected from the historic Royal Observatory to mark the Greenwich Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time.
