Flat Stanley on the River Thames, Greenwich


Andrew and Stanley are on the river, waiting for our boat, in front of what was once a palace for King Charles II, and built in 1664 (more than 100 years before the American revolution). After it was a palace, it was turned into a Naval College to train Naval officers. In the late 1990s, the Naval College moved to the coast, and now it is the Trinity School of Music and the University of Greenwich.

They also do a lot of filming at the Old Royal Naval College, as its known. Parts of "The Golden Compass" were filmed here, and right now they're filming "The Wolf Man" which will be out next year.
