Borough Market is a famous and vibrant market in Southwark, close to London Bridge and Southwark Cathedral. Originally it was established as a trading hub for farmers, traders, and merchants to sell their goods. Today this bustling market is famous for its fresh produce, including fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, and gourmet cheeses. Visiting this famous market is a shopping experience and a sensory delight. The vibrant atmosphere, the aromas of freshly cooked food and the opportunity to sample a plethora of gourmet products make it a food lover's paradise. 

The Tower of London is a historic castle and fortress on the river Thames's north bank. It is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and has a rich and fascinating history spanning over a thousand years. The Tower has served various purposes throughout history, including as a royal residence, a prison, an armoury, a treasury, and a menagerie. Today it is a unesco World Heritage site and a major tourist attraction.

Construction began in 1066, shortly after William's conquest of England, and was completed around 1100. The Tower's primary purpose was to assert William's dominance over London and symbolise Norman power. Over the centuries, The Tower underwent several expansions and modifications by successive monarchs transforming it into a complex of buildings and fortifications.

One of the Tower's most notorious functions was as a prison. Some of the Tower's famous prisoners include Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry viii, and Lady Jane Grey, who was briefly declared Queen of England. Throughout its history, the Tower has functioned as an armoury, housing a vast collection of weapons, armour, and military equipment. The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom have been kept at the Tower of London since the 17th century. They are displayed in the Jewel House, which is heavily guarded and is a popular attraction for tourists.

Just a ten minute drive from Regency House is the historic and charming town of Greenwich offering a wealth of attractions. The town has a rich maritime heritage and is home to the Old Royal Naval College, originally a hospital for sailors designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

Greenwich is the birthplace of the Prime Meridian, which divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres and marks the starting point for measuring time zones around the world. You can stand on the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory and have one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere.   

Astronomy enthusiasts would not want to miss The Royal Observatory. Here, you can learn about the discoveries of famous astronomers and explore exhibits related to space and time. Because of its convenient location on the banks of the river Thames, Greenwich is an excellent starting point for taking boat trips or river cruises, allowing you to see London's famous landmarks from the water.

Regency House is within walking distance of many convenience stores, pubs and restaurants. With so many good transport links to the South Bank, the West End and the City, the whole of London and its hundreds of restaurants, theatres and iconic attractions will be open to you.
