Tourist-y suggestions?

[David]

Also the Royal Observatory Greenwich
(http://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory/), home of the Harrison
Chronometers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harrison), the birth of
the technology that ultiamtely made GPS possible...  The trip down or
back by river is interesting, too, if the weather co-operates...
