It’s December, it’s wet, it’s windy, it’s cold, so the perfect opportunity for Andrew to lose his fingers to frostbite taking a look at Greenwich. The playground of kings and queens for centuries, join him as he learns about families picnicking on the dead, Romans forging roads all over Greenwich park, the saint who said no, the queen who said no, and the king who said yes to enough mistresses he had to put a castle aside just to house them all.
Massive amount of credit to John Chaple who has written a thoroughly well researched an entertaining page all about the roman roads in greenwich (and much more): www.johnchaple.co.uk/watling.html

Thanks to Conor Feely for his architecture insight and acting talent
