The Royal Observatory was a wonderful experience. I've always been interested in having the correct time. Even as a child I would ring the local correct time number often, this is now a hands on experience at the observatory. I enjoyed seeing the timeline of time pieces as well as the naval clocks that were a product of finding more accurate time pieces for navigation. I found out some interesting bits about the actual meridian as well. I highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in time and a chance to stand at 0° Longitude. I also visited Cutty Shark as part of package deal.

Nice afternoon spent at the Royal Observatory. The clock exhibition was very interesting. Some amazing views of London, managed to spot a hazy St Paul's Cathedral. Quite a steep walk up to the Observatory, but plenty of benches to rest at if required.

Nice place to visit, but don't be sad if you don't get to go inside the observatory as it's not that much of a wow moment place, in my opinion. I feel that I have seen different clocks and dials in other free museums. However, nothing beats the feeling knowing you are standing at the very 0° meridian and the place where great minds were put to work. Sorroundings and the gardens when the flowers are bloomed are beautiful, as well as the view over Greenwich University and The City.

This has been on my bucket list for a while, and I really enjoyed it. Interesting museum, Prime Meridian, 1pm the dropping of the ball and epic views of London. Only disappointment was the planetarium was closed to the public for school trips. Bathroom facilities. Cafe. Pay and display parking available just outside (max 4hrs)

What a cool place! It’s hard to imagine the how hard it must’ve been long ago to figure out time and place, something we just take for granted today. This place goes a long way to explaining how it all came about. The museum itself is very well done, with some incredible artifacts that are still in place. The park itself is beautiful, and has incredible views of the London skyline, particularly on a day that we went, which was a rare clear day. Highly recommended!
