http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/37503 It's a free museum, packed with all kinds of interesting collections: from anthropology to musical history to all kinds of natural treasures.
There's even an aquarium, and a lovely park to have picnics in, weather permitting.
Take a trip to the depths of non-tube-land south east London and discover a fascinating world.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/37503 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36372 For a bit of history, King George III and Queen Charlotte are known to have stayed at the inn in the early 1800s.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35573 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35573 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35572
"... Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as ... Parklife!" Blur, 1994]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35572 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35374 Arriving at Blackheath Station walk up through Blackheath Village onto the heath proper. On the very place where thousands gathered for the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 you can play football, hockey, rugby, football, cricket, lacrosse, athletics, baseball and American football. It is also ideal and popular all year round for kite flying.
Walk across the heath past the start of the annual London Marathon to the gates of Greenwich Park where children can take a donkey ride. Then cross the A2 along which for centuries pilgrims rode and walked to Canterbury.
Through the gates and into the park where you can play cricket on a pitch in the shadow of the Georgian Ranger’s House, filled with mediaeval and renaissance art and old Dutch Masters; or play tennis on a court split by the nought degrees Meridian Line; walk toward the Royal Observatory and the statue of General Wolfe, winner of Canada for the British, pockmarked with Luftwaffe bullets and then take in the magnificent view that takes in the masts of the Cutty Sark and Canary Wharf.
Walk, run, jog, play with frisbees and cycle all for free in these grounds - horseback-ridden by Henry VIII and Elizabeth 1 - past the remains of a Roman temple, past a deer park, flower garden, bandstand and magnificent trees.
But if you want to be organised by someone else you can take part in sessions for military fitness, weight training and running for mixed groups and mums only. And if you’re worn out by all this you can take children and watch them making some effort on the children’s boating pond in the shadow of the Maritime Museum.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35374 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35366 The low, 1930s style building along one side has a gym with all the latest equipment and a fitness studio which offers yoga, pilates, circuits and more. Upstairs is the small Sun Deck cafe for breakfast (best porridge in London) lunch, drinks and snacks and a south-facing balcony terrace overlooking the pools. There are music concerts on the grass in the summer and if you join the Poolside Club you can swim and BBQ in the evenings outside public opening hours.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35366 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35361 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35361 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35349 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35349 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35338 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35338 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35337 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35337 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35336 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35336 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35335 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35335 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34479 www.megaholidays.co.uk is an
