Datos rápidos: The Prime Meridian runs right through this spot, marking the division between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Visitors can stand with one foot in each hemisphere while exploring the site.
Destacados: The Royal Observatory houses the historic Flamsteed House where you can see the Shepherd Gate Clock, displaying Greenwich Mean Time to passersby since 1852. The atmosphere at the observatory is charged with history and science, letting you literally touch the exact line from which all global time zones are calculated.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable shoes as there's some uphill walking around the park and observatory.
- Head to the Meridian line for a memorable photo with one foot in the east and the other in the west.
- Skip weekends if possible; weekdays are much calmer and provide better time to enjoy exhibits.
- Explore the nearby Greenwich Market for a perfect lunch spot after your visit.
