Visit Greenwich Yacht Club

Your author visited Greenwich Yacht Club - on the banks of the Thames between North Greenwich and Woolwich - yesterday as part of Open House London, and received a very warm welcome. The Club is hosting teas and an exhibition of art in its sail loft and regular tours of the site by very knowledgeable guides.

Even for those who have passed by many times it is still an interesting place to visit, with a thriving yard full of boats of all sizes and a dinghy race in full swing out on the river. One extra benefit - given that it was the last stop of the day - is that the Club has its own very reasonably-priced bar with a fine view out across the Thames as the race came to a climax.
