A Year In The Life of Greenwich Park by Anthony Quiney (published by Frances Lincoln) that tells the story of London’s oldest enclosed Royal Park. The book uses the four seasons to create a narrative of the park through an informative text and top quality pictures.
You’ll learn about the park’s history, its buildings, its views and its trees. For such a recent publication, you may have expected a reference to plans to use the park for London 2012 but it steers clear of controversy.
Quiney himself knows Greenwich well, and was the Professor of Architectural History at the University of Greenwich.
If you love the Park, and frankly who doesnt, this is great coffee table fodder. It’s but Greenwich.co.uk is giving away a copy of the book…
