This seems conclusive to me - "gren" or "grin" but definitely NOT "green" + "itch"
Greenwich
The most common pronunciation of the name of the London borough, the meridian, Greenwich village in New York, and the town in Connecticut is [Gren-itch]. Pronunciation of the first syllable as [grin] and of the last syllable as [idge] is also heard both in Britain and the USA.

In either London or New York it is Gren-itch. Don't you just love the way that the W is not pronounced in alot of English place names such as Harwich = Haritch, Norwich = Noritch.......weirdness. Don't get me started on places names like: Leicester, Gloucester, Bicester, Warwick, Southwark, etc, etc........!

I have heard everyone pronounce it "gren-itch" and I think it sounds very nice that way.
