Greenwich is a great day out. You can get there very easily on the DLR from Stratford.
There's lots to see and do there including, the Cutty Sark, Greenwich Maritime museum and lots of nice shops, pubs and cafes to look around.
Walk up to the Royal Observatory for a great view of London.

This is a must if you are here on a Sunday! For East Londoners, this is a ritual. The flower market gets really busy during summer, and don't be afraid to haggle towards the end of the day!
My tip would be to start at Broadway market then walk down to Columbia Road. Even if you are not buying flowers there's lots of nice cafes, pubs, restaurants and cute shops.
