Over
Korte feiten: Het Koninklijk Observatorium ligt op de nulmeridiaan, de lijn die 0 graden lengtegraad markeert en wereldwijd wordt gebruikt voor het bijhouden van tijd. Greenwich Park biedt een van de beste verhoogde uitzichten op de financiële wijk van Londen, inclusief The Shard en Canary Wharf.
Hoogtepunten: Bezoekers kunnen met een voet in het oostelijk halfrond staan en met de andere in het westelijk halfrond op de lijn van de nulmeridiaan. De precieze Shepherd Gate Clock van het observatorium was de eerste die Greenwich Mean Time aan het publiek toonde en revolutioneerde de tijdmeting wereldwijd.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking uphill through Greenwich Park and exploring the grounds.
- Best photo spots include the Meridian line marker and the panoramic view over the Thames from the hilltop.
- Skip the gift shops if short on time; focus on the Meridian line and planetarium shows instead.
- Arrive before 11 am on weekends to beat peak visitor times for the observatory museum.
