[Newest] This month's promo code pack
Nice place located in a neat park, on a hilltop with a spectacular view over the city. Of course, the prime meridian is the main attraction and a must-see for London visitors. The observatory itself is lavishly restored and conserved.However, the entrance fee is bold, bordering on insolent. Almost £ 70 for a four-headed family (two minors) is a lot, especially considering the exposition and features on location. Not really value for money; rating reduced to some rather weak four stars.
MoreRoyal Observatory Greenwich
The Royal Observatory Greenwich is the birthplace of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the location of the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). It is the starting point for calculating geographical longitude and world time zones determined by the international scientific community. This museum, which contains the mysteries of time and astronomy, was designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren, the president of the Royal Society, astronomer and famous architect. It was originally built to find longitude at sea. Visit the early sailing clocks designed by Thomas Tompion, the father of the British watch industry, and get a glimpse of how the British took the lead in exploring the world and trading at that time. In 1884, the international community unanimously agreed to set Greenwich as the location of the prime meridian. Now, you can literally straddle this meridian.
You can also visit Flamsteed House, the first building built here, and learn how the Astronomer Royal lived and worked here. You can also go to the Astronomy Center to experience first-hand the work of astronomers, and you can also touch and feel meteorites that fell from the sky 4.5 billion years ago.
Peter Harrison Planetarium
While you're exploring the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, you can also visit London's only planetarium - the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Various performances will be staged here every day, bringing you a wonderful and dreamlike experience like a movie scene. For children, exploring the mysteries and wonders of the night sky will be the best choice; for adults, dramatic performances will make this science trip more enriching and interesting.
×Exhibitions and performances are subject to additional fees.

beautiful park, plenty of restaurants and nice views.Greenwich Park is a historic park located in Greenwich, London, England. It's notable for being home to the Prime Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory, marking the division between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The park itself is beautiful, featuring landscaped gardens, the National Maritime Museum, and stunning views of the River Thames and Canary Wharf.
The famous Greenwich Observatory, there are still endless people coming to check in. In fact, I enjoy the way to the Observatory more, the scenery is always on the road, especially standing in the open space overlooking the city of London and the old Royal Naval Academy and museum at the foot of the mountain.
Very worth a visit, free travel must choose this stop, return from Greenwich pier to London Bridge.
Originally not in the planned attractions, temporary decision, it is recommended to take the children freely, science, scenery did not say!
