A day sketching in Greenwich

Sketching meetup in Greenwich on 20 April 2013. The weather was perfect and lots of people were out enjoying it. Approximately 40 sketchers met at Islands Gardens in and morning and loosely followed a route through the Foot tunnel to Greenwich, around the extremely busy covered market and up the hill to the Royal Observatory (home of Greenwich Mean Time). We ended late afternoon at the lovely Trafalgar Tavern, perfectly situated on the Thames.

The tunnel, which opened in 1902, passes under the Thames and links Island Gardens (at the bottom of the Isle of Dogs) with Greenwich.
