Anchor Iron Wharf Historical Marker

Highlight • Historical Site

{On the base of the monument:}
Anchor Iron Wharf
In 964 King Edgar granted this land to the abbey of St Peter's in Ghent, Flanders. Henry V re-possessed it in 1414. After the English civil war Charles II granted the land to Sir William Boreman in 1676. He was clerk to the Board of Green Cloth and involved with the design of Greenwich Park. He also founded Green Coat School. In 1699 his widow sold the estate of Old Court Manor to Sir John Morden. He had already built Morden College in 1695 to accommodate merchants who had lost their estates by accidents and perils of the seas.
In 1705 Sir Ambrose Crowley, an iron-maker, moved to a riverside mansion which he renamed Crowley House and built Crowley's Wharf. In 1953 Charles Robinson moved his premises to what became Anchor Iron & Crowley's Wharf. The principal cargoes were scrap iron, lead ingots, metal and glass.

View of the London Skyline from Greenwich

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you go through the Greenwich Pedestrian Tunnel from the south to the north bank of the Thames, or vice versa, you have a beautiful view of the London district opposite. On the one hand, Royal Greenwich, on the other, Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf. Royal Greenwich boasts a large, historic ensemble of buildings that have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the two northern districts, which are part of the Docklands, London is growing into the sky. The tallest buildings in London are located here in a very small space and the skyline is completely the opposite of that on the south bank.
The view is also very worthwhile at night and the lighting is impressive.

Cutty Sark

Highlight • Historical Site

There is a lot to see within minutes of here, so it’s a great place to start exploring Greenwich. There is the Cutty Sark, the restored British tea clipper, the Old Royal Naval College, the Maritime Museum, Queens House and, if you walk a bit further, Greenwich Park and the historic Royal Observatory. From Cutty Sark looking north, you can see the modern buildings of Canary Wharf, the financial district, and you can cross the river using the Greenwich Foot Tunnel as well. Getting here is easy, take the DLR from Bank or Canary Wharf, or the Clipper to Greenwich Pier. There are lots of restaurants and shops around.
