From their extensive website:
Echoes of the past resonate through the heart of Greenwich. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its architectural, scientific, maritime and royal associations, Greenwich has taken its place alongside other important sites such as the Tower of London, Kew Gardens and the Taj Mahal.
It possesses an ensemble of architectural significant buildings and landscapes. These include The Old Royal Naval College, The Fan museum, The National Maritime Museum, The Royal Observatory, The Queen's House and Greenwich Park. The view from the General Wolfe statue at the top of Greenwich Park looks out across London and is a specially protected view.
