Description
The Royal Astronomical Observatory in Greenwich is a historic scientific gem founded in 1675 by King Charles II.
Standing on the famous Zero Meridian Line, you can literally have one foot in the eastern hemisphere and the other in the western hemisphere! The observatory impresses with its collection of pioneering astronomical instruments, including John Harrison's chronometer, which revolutionized nautical navigation.
The Peter Harrison Planetarium offers fascinating shows about the cosmos, and the red time ball, lowered at 1pm each day, is a reminder of the site's maritime history.
