More about this scene
Our tour now heads north-east to Greenwich to a much grander building. The Royal Naval Hospital, a counterpart to the Chelsea Hospital for soldiers, began as a rebuild of Greenwich Palace by Charles II in the 1660s, but it changed direction in the 1690s. The second pediment from the right is Webb's 1660s work. In 1873 it became the Royal Naval College; when that closed, in the 1990s it became part of Greenwich University. In the distance are the chimneys of Greenwich Power Station of 1902-10.
