Walking London : Cutty Sark to the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, England
A first-person perspective London walk tour from Cutty Sark to Old Royal Naval College.
Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring Cutty Sark to Old Royal Naval College. The route begins close to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel South, then to the Cutty Sark, onto the Old Royal Naval College, travelling along College Way and ending at the eastern end of the site, which is also home to the University of Greenwich.
Sights seen along the tour include a helter skelter and merry-go-round, the Gipsy Moth public house, King Charles Court, and the Royal Naval College Chapel.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
Footage recorded April 2017.

The Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College
Discover one of London’s most spectacular hidden gems in the heart of historic Greenwich. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College is known as the UK’s own Sistine Chapel.
Prepare to be dazzled by one of the most astonishing spaces in Europe. In 1707, Queen Mary II invited artist Sir James Thornhill to paint a monument to English power and prosperity in Wren’s epic space – covering more than 4,000 square metres, it’s equivalent to more than 20 tennis courts. Thornhill took two decades to create his masterwork, a series of paintings and murals that stretch from floor to ceiling through three inter-connected rooms.
Following a painstaking programme of conservation works, the Painted Hall has never looked finer than it does today.
