What to expect

The Royal Observatory is home to the world-famous Meridian Line and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Established in the 17th century by Charles II, it is today a unique visitor attraction and a must-see for any visit to London.

Marvel at the Great Equatorial Telescope, the UK's largest, historic telescope which gave astronomers new views of the universe over 100 years ago. You'll also enjoy one of the most-loved views of London across Greenwich Royal Park and the River Thames.

Don't forget to take a selfie on the iconic Meridian Line with one foot in the west and one foot in the east!

    We had a great day at the Royal Observatory (very interesting) & the Cutty Sark with cream tea in the resturant underneath. Awesome engineering displaying the ship in this suspended state

    Nous sommes arrivés 45 min avant la fermeture de Greenwich - passage à la boutique très rapide car l'Observatoire fermait ses portes. Horaires d'ouverture à revoir et surtout pour les touristes merci de prévoir un léger écart pour la fermeture. Dommage !!!
