Thanks to DaveH48 who pointed me in the direction of the Greenwich Photo Wiki. In case you haven’t seen it, this is a street by street breakdown of West & Central Greenwich with fascinating photos giving a birds eye view of how it has looked in the past.

Being a Wiki, it means you can go along and contribute your own pictures, information or comments. Go check it out if you haven’t seen it – Greenwich Photo History Wiki.

Monopoly Competition: Regent Street

By

With Bond Street decided as Greenwich Market, and Oxford Street decided as Trafalgar Road, that just leaves Regent Street to decide from the green squares on the Monopoly Board.

Completed in 1825, Regent Street is one of the West End’s most famous shopping streets, and did you know that every building in Regent Street is protected as a listed building?

We’re looking now for a road in Greenwich that could take the place of Regent Street on the Greenwich Monopoly board. Let’s make this a quick one, so if you have an idea post it on the site using the comments form below.
