Royal Museums Greenwich - Spring into Greenwich

There are actually three main definitions for when the season starts, coming from astronomy, meteorology and phenology (the study of animal and plant life). But whether you believe spring starts at the equinox or when the daffodils are in bloom, either way, it's time for a nice walk around Greenwich Park! Discover when spring begins
