You have the basics, Cutty Sark too. Using river to get to central London is cool but can be long queues, worth doing at least once

If you have a bike, you can ride along the river all the way to Dartford.

The park is nice.

Are you ther for just a day?

If so you've covered it, that's a lot to do in a day. For instance the watertaxi up/down takes over an hour and a half if you do the whole loop.

If you are at a loss late in the day, take the watertaxi up the river to Westminster/London Eye and walk over the bridge and wander around Parliment Sq and Westminster Abbey, then watertaxi back for supper at Bianco43 pizza restaurant (avoid all the other so so places) or Sticks n Sushi (if you like sushi)

Cutty Sark is well worth it- I didn't think it would be tbh and put it off for a couple of visits but it was ace. I did the maritime museum, naval college and greenwich park in one big hit so I can't really remember which was which tbh! But it was a good day out.

Greenwich is brill. Walk along the river. Take the Thames clipper from Woolwich (get a bus from Abby wood). Go to Greenwich brewery. Walk up to the observertory through the colleges.

Abby wood it's self is a bit of a shit hole, but the Abby it's self is quite interesting.

If you are there for a day think you are pretty much spot on.

Maritime Museum followed by the Observatory (good views over London)

Wander back through the park and through the Naval College (take a look at the Painted Hall) which brings you out near the Cutty Sark.

Depending on when you are going and who you are with the market may be worth a look round.

Personally I'd leave out going on the Cutty Sark if its just for a day.

Boat down to the Thames barrier is good for the views through the Naval college up to the Observatory (or take the foot tunnel under the Thames) . Also good going into central London as you go past the old wharves in Wapping and Rotherhithe plus under Tower bridge.

Eating wise depends what you are after but there is a cheap noodle house by the Cutty Sark DLR or loads of pubs.

Greenwich market has some decent street food places, also Goddards has pie n' mash..
Definitely go to the Observatory and take in the views, chill in the park etc, really nice area.
