London - Greenwich Park
Greenwich Park was laid out as a royal park for Charles II to the design of Le Nôtre, Louis XIV's landscape gardener.
It is now one of London's most pleasant parks and leisure areas, with beautiful gardens and walking paths.
Greenwich Park is London's oldest enclosed park. Contained within the park are the "Wilderness" with free roaming deer, as well as a number of historically significant sights and a restaurant.

Ranger's House
Ranger's House is a red-brick villa adjacent to Greenwich Park, built in the early 18th C. It was once the residence of 'Ranger of Greenwich Park', thus giving the house its name. At that time, in the early 19th Century, the position was held by Princess Sophia Matilda.
Today the Ranger's House holds the Werner Collection, which was the private collection of Sir Julius Werner. Werner was a wealthy diamond miner who died in the early 20th Century. The collection includes a wide range of items including jewelry, glassware, silver, paintings, and other Renaissance decorative arts.
