Have YOU been to the THREE BEST VIEWS in GREENWICH PARK ?

There's more than just the one famous view from The Royal Observatory. Greenwich Park as 3 official viewpoints, but I will also show you a few other of my vantage points that are my favourite.
Join me on this video walk at Greenwich Park where I will show you what the views are like from each of these locations, and the videos and photos I captured from each in wide angle and also with my Nikon 500mm f5.6 Pf lens. As a bonus, I'll you'll see where I've even shot my most epic timelapse ever.

I’ve visited Greenwich many times but did not know about these viewpoints! Thank you!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, any time of day is good but sunsets and sunrises are my favourite ☺️

[@danieljohnson1924]

Nice video. It brought back a lot of nice memories for me. I can hear the beautiful green parrots in the background. When they catch the sun on a summer day they look stunning.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Glad you enjoyed it, yes usually lots of them or the parroteques there in summer indeed

[@colintaylor1986]

Nice! There is a park called The Point, which is about 10 mins walk from Greenwich park. It’s got even better views.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Yes, go there often too, but that’s maybe for another video 😀👍🏻

[@arslanwaghu4882]

such a nice and informative video. that timelapse was something else.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you, glad you found the video helpful 😀

[@marthahalfeld9122]

I loved the photography and the sound stood up quite nicely! It was interesting to hear your comments throughout the video. Thanks for sharing!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you, glad you loved to hear my comments in the video 😀

[@kennymccartney1619]

Been looking forward to this video - excellent guide mate. Can't believe back when we lived there, we visited on multiple occasions only to head to the same spot everyone else goes to! 😳 Humbling! Really good shout for future reference and for all those visiting for the first time.

[@LondonViewpoints]

So glad you enjoyed this Kenny, that’s exactly why I thought of making this video, as the one main spot is always crowded, it’s great but the other two are awesome too👍🏻

[@mayspeis]

wow i love that view of canary wharf near the two benches..epic! thanks!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Yeah it’s a great view and honestly rarely ever anyone there 👍🏻 thanks

[@journey7continents]

Great video - so informative! I need to go back to Greenwich Park and explore more of these spots

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks 😀Greenwich Park is great all year round 👍🏻

[@journey7continents]

@@LondonViewpoints I agree. Last week was the first time I went to Greenwich Park in all these years of travel. Not traveling abroad is giving me the opportunity to explore more of London 😊

[@Annemiek71]

Thank you for taking me along this fantastic walk! Next time I will definitely visit soms other viewing spots.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Anne🙏🏻glad you enjoyed this virtual walk

[@RMSARPS]

Great to hear "Greenwich" pronounced correctly. Enjoyed your walk around my favourite park.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Haha I’m not born here so my way of pronouncing things may be wrong anyway😜 Thanks and glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@RMSARPS]

@@LondonViewpoints If you want to see my Greenwich and Park photography see KZbin - RMSARPS

[@weedle30]

Yes, you DID pronounce GREENWICH correctly! It’s Grinn idge not GREN idge! And I thank you muchly 👍🏻😘 (GREENWICH born and bred! 😀) and saying hello to RMSARPS - not just me then, that gets riled at hearing it said wrong! 😩😀

[@RMSARPS]

@@weedle30 Afraid we are losing the battle but it annoys me intensely. Also born and bread in Greenwich.

[@sophieaddis9605]

I’m moving to Greenwich in the end of October I’m so glad I’ve found this video thanks for your tips! Stay safe!

[@LondonViewpoints]

You’re most welcome ☺️🙏🏻How lucky you are, I’d love to live in Greenwich one day, or the Greenwich Peninsula, my two favourite neighbourhoods in London 👍🏻

[@sophieaddis9605]

London Viewpoints thank you!! I hope I’ll see u one day filming some video lol 😂

[@LondonViewpoints]

Daniela Sofia I’m in Greenwich often so if you see me say hi 👍🏻

[@lukehenrymiller]

Thats a clear view of Ally Pally. great video👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Somewhat clear, some branches but yeah, at 500 it’s alright 👍🏻

[@LoomVideos]

Excellent and informative thankyou!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Adam☺️glad to hear you found it helpful 👍🏻

Love the video buddy. Thanks for sharing.

Excelente video

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks 🤩

[@frankdasilva]

It's one of my favourite parks too, it's often on my running route for hill training. I love the views from one tree hill 👍📸 Thanks again for sharing Michal.

[@heryro]

great views!! I wish I´ve known all of this in 2017 :) As usual great quality stuff from you!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Another reason to visit again 😀thanks a lot

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Most enjoyable, like all your channel content, I'm new around here so catching up on your older posts too 👍🏻

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot, of you’re after some viewpoint recommendation , check out my special hashtags on insta like #LondonParkwithaview or #LondonStreetwithaview 👍🏻

[@matt.pereira]

great stuff - i'm going to try some early-morning timelapses here in the next couple of months .!!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, good luck 👍🏻

[@TomRyanElliott]

Love these. Have not actually been to the last section that you went to here so it'll be one to go to next time I'm over there 👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks and glad I was able to show you that last viewpoint, definitely the least busy of them all, and still a great view 😀👍🏻

[@lukasdominikusalbert5515]

Very nice! Have to mark these spots on Google Maps to find them the next time I come to London! Should have known this last year when I was in Greenwich Park...

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot👍🏻😀 Greenwich Park is always a great idea, and one it’s worth returning to over and over so I’m sure you will now be able to explore new views from there

[@londonlivereels2105]

excellent video 👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you , glad you found it useful

[@harryjamesroth]

Hi Mike, I absolutely love your videos and I'm so grateful for all of these top tips that you're sharing. I live in London too and have just treated myself to a Sigma 150 - 600 lens so I definitely plan to check out all of these places that you have mentioned (I'm literally going through your whole playlist now hahaha). Also, I wanted to thank you for being so open as to where all of these locations are as I know that there are other photographers out there who wouldn't share this information and would want to keep it a secret. Lastly, where did you get the shoulder camera mount that you're wearing in this video from, please? I've been trying to find one like this for ages. All the best :)

[@LondonViewpoints]

Hi Harry, thanks a lot for your kind words and glad to hear you’re enjoying the Best views playlist. The shoulder camera mount I got is from Peak Design Capture V3 but I’ve heard of a competitor called F38 by Ulanzi that I am looking into switching for compatibility reasons for my tripod, so I recommend you decide between the two

[@harryjamesroth]

@@LondonViewpoints cool, thank you so much for the reply. All the best 👊

Hi, can you let me know what is the bracket you are using to attach Z6 to backpack strap? Thanks for brilliant Video..

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks and yes of course it’s the Peak Design Capture clip v3 👍🏻

[@meletispix]

This was an incredible and informative video Michael! I've been to Greenwich so many times and I only knew of the default viewpoint at the Observatory!! Will have to revisit and check the rest out! :)

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Andreas, so glad you liked it. When you’re back, let’s go Greenwich👍🏻

[@westy6214]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and was very informative. Canary Wharf has got severely cluttered with high rise buildings since the last time I saw it and is hiding the centrepiece, one Canada square (pyramid building).

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, personally I do like most of the new skyscrapers in Canary Wharf but there are a few I don’t, but still OCS is visible from many angles 👍🏻

[@ROCKINGMAN]

It is a very nice area.

[@LondonViewpoints]

It is indeed 👍🏻

[@awomansfriend5784]

My Husband as such a fear of this park

[@LondonViewpoints]

Why? I’d imagine it’s one of London’s safest parks, it’s Greenwich we’re taking about, but I guess there was some isolated incidents there like everywhere from time to time 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@awomansfriend5784]

London Viewpoints I have no idea

[@ShortiesPhotographyBryan]

Love the View Points in Greenwich Park.. Gave Me A Couple Of Extra Ideas for Some Future Shots.. .. Funny Enough Just Posted One About 5 Days ago from the Maze Hill Gate Entrance.. ( Would Love to Know what you think of It. ( @shortiesphotography_1970 ) ...All Comments Welcome..) But Definitely looking Forward To heading Back to My Local Park later on Hopefully in the Next Couple of Months When We All Can.. Great Video as Always and Very In formative Michael..👌🏼📷 #staysafe

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Bryan, glad you found it informative even as this is your local park 😀Yeah I love it, it’s only 20min drive for me and I can’t wait to be back there(when we can finally ) 👍🏻

[@gabrielaroca8366]

Whar’s the best time of day to go there to get great picks?

[@colintaylor1986]

Will you be doing any more of these videos? If so, where?

[@LondonViewpoints]

That’s the plan, in between some gear reviews and timelapse related tutorials 👍🏻

[@batman51]

The road through the park is closed to vehicles 10 to 4 and at weekends.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Oh that’s good to know 👍🏻

[@wozza12341]

I hope London keeps building upwards

[@LondonViewpoints]

There’s flight regulations for City of London airport how much upwards it can grow, but otherwise I hope so too

[@wozza12341]

Yeah that's unfortunate. Even if they just extend the current skyscraper cluster. Amazing viewpoint from the Observatory. Thanks for the video

[@youngmurphy7556]

I remember going there in the 1980s. It was a relatively low-rise vista back then. Those towers have ruined the skyline of London, in my opinion. Same clusters of steel, concrete and glass you can see anywhere. How boring! Your shots do give them a fair amount of visual interest, however. I bet you'd have taken far more interesting shots back before they fired the starting pistol on the bankers' tower block boom.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Everyone enjoys a different aesthetic , for me, London still has a great ratio of greenery to modern high rise architecture and I do love both, how the natural landscape mixed with a city skyline😀

[@youngmurphy7556]

@@LondonViewpoints Thanks for the response. However, not much will change my mind about the appeal of a low rise city. Paris was wise to shove its towers outside the borders of the core city at La Defense (shame about Montparnasse Tower though) and Athens, Rome and many other cities have preserved their charm after eschewing the faceless, corporate skyscraper.

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@youngmurphy7556 London preserved some area that I agree should be preserved too, while designated areas like City, Isle of Dogs or Vauxhall for high rise development. While Paris is actually full of tall residential towers build in the 60’s which some would argue are nice ( I like brutalism) but many hate , so I don’t understand how you can say Paris is good but London bad

[@youngmurphy7556]

@@LondonViewpoints I don't think I said London was bad. I think my original point was "those towers have ruined it". I mean, I like the Gerkhin and even the Shard works in isolation but Canary Wharf and the City cluster aren't very appealing. And the only tall building that works in the centre of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. I'm not sure I've seen any tall residential blocks in the arrondissements. There are many outside the peripherique in the banlieues but not in the city proper. And La Defense has turned out really bad. The Grande Arche is hardly visible among the nondescript towers that surround it. In short, the 1990s onwards were bad decades for the cityscapes of some of the world's historic metropolises, I'm afraid. Nevertheless, we're now stuck with them and your photography, as I've said already, gives them a bit of character that perhaps they don't deserve.

[@youngmurphy7556]

By the way, a spot you missed in your Honor Oak/Dulwich episodes was Blythe Hill Fields. You might want to check it out. It's just to the east of Honor Oak Park station and just to the west of the Catford stations. It's got big wide vistas of both tower clusters and very few people seem to know about it. It's just a dog walking spot for locals, it seems.
