It not until you get out to Greenwich that you get a sense of it being a separate town; there's a decidedly different 'feel' to the place, a kind of village atmosphere which I found quite appealing. I guess a lot of cities have this; Bristol has Clifton, which is rather similar in feel to Greenwich, a rather quieter, more...refined air about it. I guess the Thames provides a much more clear-cut boundary than occures in other cities, which rely on less specific geography and housing to provide the deviding line.
