Three Mills Green
There have been mills here since Saxon times, so it’s fitting that the world’s largest surviving tidal mill is at Three Mills Island. The 18th century House Mill is Grade I listed and you can join a guided tour on Sundays, or at other times by appointment. You’ll also find the Grade II listed Clock Mill, which is now part of 3 Mills Studios, and the reconstructed Miller’s House.
Soak up the wonderful green spaces and catch up with some friends for a cup of coffee from the café. The little ones will have loads to explore in the Wild Kingdom with its carefully placed fallen trees, nets, ropes and giant tree stumps that will let their imaginations roam free.
You can also see some wonderful art in and around Three Mills Green, thanks to The Line, London’s first dedicated public art walk which follows the Greenwich Meridian from The O2 to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Take a look at works by Madge Gill and Thomas J Price along with the most recent addition A Moment Without You by the acclaimed British artist Tracey Emin – her only public sculpture currently in London. It features five bronze birds perched on a series of high poles.
