Off the beaten track isn’t really a description that should be used to describe a restaurant adjoined to one of London’s most popular and world renowned attractions. But when visiting this new opening at the Old Royal Naval College in Maritime Greenwich (named as it’s apparently sixteen seconds west of the meridian line) of an evening, it certainly feels that way.
The fact that the website cites the address as being on the perimeter of the Naval College grounds (presumably the official address for the whole complex) when it’s actually smack bang in the middle of it is one problem, and leads to a fair bit of unwarranted circle walking before dinner. The time of my visit is another factor. Although the brasserie is open all day, come evening all the attractions around it are closed off and plunged into darkness, meaning it’s effectively marooned in the middle of a somewhat large and intimidating park.
