19 best things to do in Greenwich London with kids in 2026

I’ll admit, Greenwich was not a place I prioritized visiting before having kids. Now that I have two little ones, ages 8 and 5, I have first hand knowledge on what are the best things to do in Greenwich London with kids.

Greenwich’s rich seafaring history makes it an exciting place for kids to play, learn and immerse into the world of sailors and explorers. Even better is that the attraction and activities within the area are suitable for different ages making Greenwich a wonderful neighborhood for a full multi-generational, family-friendly experience.

For the parents with kids who love all things boats, space and astronomy a visit to Greenwich is definitely not to be missed.

19 Best Things To Do In Greenwich London with kids

In this list of things to do in Greenwich, I’ll highlight some of our favorite family-friendly activities, shared in no particular order. 

Many of these attractions are interactive and, from my 7-year-old’s perspective, connects directly with topics they’ve learned or are currently exploring in school. I love seeing her make these connections and gain confidence on the knowledge she’s been accumulating.

1. Take a boat to Greenwich

There are several ways to get to Greenwich, but I’m willing to bet the kids will love traveling there by boat the most.

Hop on the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers from Central London to Greenwich Pier for a scenic and relatively relaxed journey. Depending on where you start, the trip takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

Along the way, take in scenic views of the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and the looming skyscrapers of Canary Wharf, all from the unique vantage point of the River Thames.
