Over
Korte feiten: The Royal Observatory sits on the Prime Meridian, the line marking 0 degrees longitude used worldwide for timekeeping. Greenwich Park offers one of the best elevated views of London's financial district, including the Shard and Canary Wharf.
Hoogtepunten: Visitors can stand with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere on the Prime Meridian line. The observatory's precise Shepherd Gate Clock was the first to show Greenwich Mean Time to the public, revolutionizing timekeeping globally.
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.
