They have an excellent bar upstairs which is very comfortable and relaxed- a place where you could equally go on a date and sit back and read the papers on a Sunday afternoon. They sell a variety of organic snacks and drinks which you can take into the cinema with you, in addition to the drinks which you can buy from the bar upstairs (a big plus of this place is being able to take beer and wine in to the cinema) The chairs are extremely comfortable- far more comfortable than usual- and are worth the extra few pounds that you spend on getting in.

Charlton Pathetic were formed by Bobby and Jack Charlton, who were World Cup Winners but not so…read moregood at owning football clubs. Hence the name Pathetic. But not really, I mean they're really quite an adorable football club in the South East of London, which is the part of London which is most underrepresented by football teams and tourism too. Known as the Addicks because every single one of their fans is a junkie. (Jk). Especially Jonjo Shelvey (n/jk). First-Hand Experience: I've seen Charlton play once at home to a half-full stadium and once away, and they got battered. Live, in person I mean. I love Charlton though, great little SoLo club (South London, not the sexy American goalie), with a fantastic pedigree and youth academy. It was one of the few stadiums I never went to as a youth but I always followed the club's news and Garth Crooks was one of their standouts when I was a tiny lad. He's now an over-opinionated analyst. They have the craziest badge, which is just a white hand with a sword on a red and black circular background. Most of the reviews here are for the stadium instead of the club, so they should be moved to the stadium page which I am creating now. Millwall and Crystal Palace are their main rivals. They play in red to 27k fans which is, by the way, an absolutely enormous crowd for a smaller team. They were Prem runners up in 1937 (when it wasn't the Prem) just before the war, FA Cup runners up in 46 just after the war, and FA Cup Winners in 1947, their greatest moment. They have a player called Morgan Fox, but not the female Morgan Fox who I remember from when I was a kid. They were founded in 1905. I like this Only Fools And Horses story... Charlton Athletic featured in the ITV one-off drama Albert's Memorial, shown in September 2010 and starring David Jason. Jason's character, Harry, is revealed to be a Charlton Athletic fan. Harry later buries his friend Albert, draped in a Charlton Athletic flag, to which Frank says, "Hear that?". Harry replies, "No... What?" Frank says, "That's the sound of Albert turning in his grave. He hated Charlton Athletic." to which Harry replies, "Well, nobody's perfect." Anyway, a great team, minus one point for never winning the big one, and for being outside the top division for ages, and for being yet another London club.

A few years ago on a trip to London, i finally got to go to my first football match (in England,…read morethat is--i'd been to plenty in the states). Having gotten my ex to agree to go to a game, i set to work doing some research as to who was playing that weekend, and who had tickets that could actually be obtained without sacrifice of one or more limbs. And so i found myself looking up Charlton Athletic, who were helpful, if somewhat curt, over email, and sent tickets by post to me in Boston. Happy day! Naturally, on the day of the match, there was some delay involving shoe shopping, but at least i'd found myself last year's jersey on sale for five pounds--may as well fit in. The ticket agent at Charing Cross station basically laughed at me as i bought two tickets, considering how tardy we'd be. Getting off the train, i stumbled in the general direction of the Valley and found all the gates shut. We could hear the crowd noise on the inside that almost certainly meant a goal. Not knowing anything, i wasn't even sure late admission was allowed, and was worried and fixing blame on a certain £100 pair of boots, but eventually we circled around to find an open turnstile and got to some really nice seats just before the half. This was during the Addicks' last respectable season, and Darren Bent helped them thump Middlesbrough 3-0. It was a great time, with a supportive, yet charmingly profane crowd, and a nice, neighborhood atmosphere. This was even more in evidence as the happy crowd walked home after the match through the side streets in the area. So for better or worse, i adopted Charlton as my team then, cemented when i met a bunch of other supporters at the World Cup later that year. Since then, they've not done so well, and i hope it's not my fault, but you don't change your mind about such things. It's a nice place to watch a game, and a responsible club that looks after its community. And eventually they'll start getting results on the field again.

I've been to a lot of planetariums as my kid has an interest. I was expecting a lot of stars and space but gladly found this spot was all about longitude and latitude and how one instrument made traveling the ocean so much easier. I learned a lot here. Small but mighty in info. Make sure to take part in some of the free tours they offer to get the real historical point of view. Oh and make sure to be there at 1pm each day to see the ball drop. I won't explain as I will let you discover that on your own.

I stopped here on a whim while visiting the other sights in Greenwich and really enjoyed it. The…read moremuseum is very, very small, so I only spent about 45 minutes here. They provide audioguides if you wish to use one, but I mostly just read the available signage. I enjoy fashion history, so I found the museum to be quite interesting and of course all of the fans were beautiful. Unfortunately, The Orangery was closed when I visited. They do not serve tea every day, which was a bit disappointing. Be sure to check the website before you visit to make sure they are open if you are hoping to enjoy tea here. The staff in this museum are all very lovely and I had a really enjoyable chat with a few of the staff members. If you enjoy art or fashion, this is a good place to stop if you have a bit of extra time in Greenwich. I wouldn't go out of my way to come all the way out here, but it is a nice complement to the other sights in Greenwich. Admission is only a couple of pounds, so if you need to fill a bit of time, it is worth the stop.

This place is awesome! Found this place looking for afternoon tea during a day trip to Greenwich…read more This is a fan museum with a quaint cafe in the back that offers afternoon tea service. The afternoon tea service was wonderful - it came with a pot of tea. scones, clotted cream, jelly, carrot cake, and choice of lemon drizzle or salted caramel brownie, It is also served in a beautifully decorated room with a garden view. The museum was an added treat and it was fun to explore their fan collection which spans the globe and covers different time periods. One point to note is that you do need to buy an admission ticket to the museum to enjoy their tea service menu but it's worth it. Highly recommend!
