On Boxing day, (the day after Christmas in England), we decided to go to Greenwich Park and Greenwich. Some more photography practicing of course.
General James Wolfe and London Sky line Built in 1930 to commemorate General James Wolfe (1727-1759), this Grade II listed structure was designed by Dr. Tait Mackenzie and a gift from the Canadians.
The statue commemorates Wolfe’s victory against the French at Quebec which secured Canada for the British. Wolfe, whose parents lived in Macartney House on the edge of the park, died in the battle.
The monument was unveiled by the Marquis de Montcalm, a descendant of the Commander-in-Chief of French forces who also died at the Battle of Quebec.
Wolfe lived in Greenwich and is buried in a local church.
Looking through the trees at the O2 The Millennium Dome was originally used to house the Millennium Experience, an exhibition to celebrate the beginning of the third millennium.
It changed to The O2 nine years ago and has since become the best live events venue in the country (not that we’re biased!)
It’s also home to awesome experiences such as Up at The O2 and a whole host of bars and restaurants.
