Wonderful weekend walkabout in Greenwich, taking in the park and some of the most beautiful historical buildings, which form part of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. And two stops for art... the fine collection within the classically-magnificent Queen's House, built by Inigo Jones, and the neighbouring National Maritime Museum where the exhibition Turner and the Sea continues to pull in the crowds. No message in that larger-than-life bottle by Yinka Shonibare MBE (RA) outside the museum's main entrance but a scaled version of Nelson's ship - HMS Victory.
