Greenwich is both the name of the historic riverside town and the large borough in which it is situated. The London Borough of Greenwich also includes the towns of Woolwich, Eltham and Plumstead. The Millenium Dome and North Greenwich Station are about three miles from Greenwich Town Centre, north of Charlton.

The University of Greenwich and the Trinity College of Music are now based in the former Naval College buildings between Greenwich Park and the river.

I have deleted the image of East Greenwich Library, as it is non free. Please take another free picture if you want to keep it. Justinc 20:47, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Most locals pronounce Greenwich more like "gren-idge" (to rhyme with "fridge") than "gren-itch", but I'm not sure what that should look like in IPA, so I've not modified anything... edd 20:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I've taken out the phrase 'by the locals'. Do we say "New York pronounced 'noo york' by the locals"? How the locals say it is how it is.
Eddpayne is correct, 'gren-idge' would be the way any local would say it . If you weren’t from South East London you might go for 'gren-itch'. Only a lost American tourist would pronounce the 'w'. Junius 12:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be a strong view that 'grenn-idge' is the way the locals pronounce it, and a sound opinion that 'how the locals say it is how it is'. And yet there's still no mention of this pronunciation in the article; just 'grenn-itch' and 'grinn-itch'. Russ London 19:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location of Greenwich

OS give the location of Greenwich as TQ395775 which does not appear to be directly on the meridian. MRSC • Talk 09:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

When was it founded and when was it annexed by London?
