A Tour Of The Site

August 9, 2008 By Rob Powell

Greenwich.co.uk is a brand new site, and we’re busy adding new stuff all the time to turn this into the number one resource for all things Greenwich. At the moment, everything is new and shiney so may look a bit confusing if it’s your first time here. Here’s our guide to what’s what on the site…

News – This is where we post news story that are relevant to Google. We source stories from across the usual media outlets, but we’d love to get some stories of our own so get in touch if you have details of a news story that belongs on Greenwich.co.uk

Magazine – The magazine will be a place to find general interest stories that have a Greenwich edge. They might not be topical or apropos anything in particular, but we hope to have regular stream of interesting content here. If you think you could write a story about Greenwich, get in touch with us – we’re willing to pay for decent articles and particularly looking for content with a historical edge.

What’s On – Events and happenings in Greenwich, as well as details of what you can find at Greenwich theatre and any special events at the cinemas in Greenwich.

Forum – Forums are notoriously hard to get going and maintain, but we reckon Greenwich.co.uk is as good an outlet as any for chat and discussion about issues effecting Greenwich. So get involved and register now.

Classifieds – Post a free ad if you have something to sell, want to meet someone or are looking for a flat share. Think of this as the online equivalent of a postcard in the newsagents shop window.

Could you write an article about Greenwich?

August 8, 2008 By Rob Powell

One of the features of our new Greenwich website is the magazine. This space will be for interesting articles relating to aspect of Greenwich life. We are looking for contributors who can write articulate, well researched pieces on Greenwich matters close to their heart, and we can pay too for the articles we use.

Maybe you are interested in history and can write an article about a forgotten piece of Greenwich?
Maybe you are passionate about a particular issue in Greenwich, such as housing, public transport or the way the town centre is being developed?
Maybe you eat out a lot and can put pen to paper, so to speak, about the restaurants you’ve enjoyed, or not as the case maybe?

Whatever it is, if it’s Greenwich related and you have the passion to write about it, we want to hear from you. editor@greenwich.co.uk.

Greenwich In The Blogosphere

August 5, 2008 By Rob Powell

For the initial posting to our self styled Greenwich Magazine, I thought I would take a look at the blogosphere and see what existing sites there are covering the goings on in Greenwich.

The Greenwich Phantom keeps her identity secret but writes a popular Greenwich blog with a wide assortment of news, events and seems to take a special interest in what she describes as “mostly accurate history”.  Frequently updated and always worth a look.

Darryl’s 853 blog – with 853 being a nod to the old Greenwich dialling prefix – is also a must read and regularly updated with topical posts, including the odd (constructive) moan about Greenwich Council and Greenwich Time.

By the way, I’ve found that if you mention Greenwich Time, someone called “Jim” pops up to defend it as the best thing since sliced bread. Hi Jim!

Greenwich Council used to get a fair amount of close scrutiny from Greenwich Watch but they announced a break from posting in July 2008. This political blog perhaps had its biggest moment when it led the way on the story relating to the controversial  AEG bid to build a Las Vegas style casino on the Greenwich Peninsula.

Save Greenwich Park is a multi authored blog primarily concerned with the plans to host 2012’s equestrian events in Greenwich Park.

The Greenwich Gazette is another useful Greenwich Blog which is being regularly updated with events and stuff that’s happening in Greenwich.

Did we miss a great Greenwich (or nearby) blog? Use the comments section to tell us what you think of these blogs or to recommend one that we missed out.

Updated: We’ve now created a new page aggregating the latest headlines from Greenwich blogs.

This post was updated 5th August, 2009.
