Greenwich station is about 400 m south-west of the town centre, in London, England. It is an interchange between National Rail between central London and Dartford (north Kent), and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) between Lewisham to the south and Docklands and the City of London. It is in Travelcard Zones 2 and 3.
It is the nearest National Rail station to the centre of Greenwich, but Cutty Sark DLR station is closer to town centre and its tourist attractions.
East of the station the Dartford line goes through a tunnel underneath the grounds of the National Maritime Museum, towards Maze Hill. Northwards, the DLR goes into a tunnel through Cutty Sark station and under the River Thames to the Isle of Dogs; in the opposite direction, it rises on a concrete viaduct to follow the River Ravensbourne upstream to Deptford Bridge and Lewisham. There used to be additional peak hour trains operating to and from London Charing Cross during rush hour, but ended in 2014 due to Thameslink Programme at London Bridge.
The station is 5½ miles from Charing Cross – the milepost is on platform 1.
The typical off-peak national rail service at Greenwich is six trains per hour westbound to London Cannon Street, and two services per hour eastbound to each of Slade Green, Cannon Street (via Sidcup) and Dartford
