Well I would, I think theres some kind of visitors center there if your on
foot, but there not much else. If you havn't done the thames before go
from westminster, and stop off in greenwich

Sunny days are better, but less people on the boats on cloudy days.

With plenty of time (and sensible shoes) it might be interesting to
walk from Greenwich, via the peninsula. You can stay on the riverside
for most of it.
