| Greenwich Mean Time Greenwich Park on a sunny Saturday morning in Spring. Views, joggers, children and daffodils. Greenwich market is well worth a rummage, especially if you are peckish. The Royal Maritime Museum is free and fabulous. There is ample and cheap parking nearby. |

| Midday, 18 March at the Royal Observatory |
 |
| 20 minutes away in Nunhead is one of the Capital's great cemeteries. Park free at the front gates. The grounds are maintained but in a very unfussed way. This is Gothic Central as nature and masonry engage in a century-long battle for domination. |

| Such a cliche, I couldn't help snapping it. |
 |
| The Red House at Bexleyheath was designed by Philip Webb for William Morris. It is an Arts and Crafts sampler of a house. We've wanted to visit since it opened to the public in the 90s. Morris' ambiance is still strong in the house. A sense of his melancholy fills many of the spaces. May Morris scratched her name in a window pane and Janey shared her affections. |
 |
| You can imagine Rossetti climbing standing atop the settle recounting poetry and nonsense. |
 |
| The design is aesthetically perfect. Airy, high ceilings, big windows, homely and full of such tasteful decoration. |
