For a spot of fun, try Proceedings of the Old Bailey 1674 - 1913 - you can put in street names and find out what crimes and misdemeanors went on in your neck of the woods.
Holiday Geology Guide - Greenwich
I LOVE this. It's clearly intended for kids - with pictures of dinosaurs on the front - but it's the clearest resource I've found that explains what geology's going on under our feet. And a bargain at just £1.99 from the Tourist Office.

About Me
- The Greenwich Phantom
- Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.
