Anyway, with all of the unpacking (nearly) done, the next step is really to discover more about the place that I will call home for many years. It’s time to find the best bar, best pub, best places for a romantic dinner and the best place to take the parents for Sunday lunch, that’s if I don’t attempt to cook it myself.
For me though, I know this area quite well and it holds a special place in my heart. I lived in Greenwich with a couple of friends about 3 years ago. It was the first place I lived in London and an area that I felt so comfortable in. I did love living in Brixton and I would recommend the area to anyone, but Greenwich really had my heart.
One of things I always do when I move somewhere new is start following local blogs and Twitter accounts to really get up to speed with the area. If you are moving somewhere new, I would totally suggest doing the same.
Here are a couple of blogs I’ve started following:
The Greenwich Phantom - http://www.thegreenwichphantom.co.uk/
853 - http://853blog.com/
The Blackheath Bugle - http://blackheathbugle.wordpress.com/
Here is a Twitter featuring Greenwich and surrounding area Twitter account, which I will be adding to over time:

Do you live in Greenwich and know some more blogs I should follow? Drop me a note at @originalsteve or post a comment below.
Looking forward to sharing more of my adventures with you soon.
