The National Maritime Museum is also free to visit and covers 500 years of Britain at sea. This is the world's largest maritime museum and it connects Britain's maritime past with our lives today.

You can see the uniform Nelson was wearing when he was fatally shot at the Battle of Trafalgar, fire a cannon and steer a ship into port. The children's All Hands gallery is a fantastic way to learn through play.

Behind the Queen's House and the National Maritime Museum is Greenwich Park.
