The Main Event

Visit the Royal Observatory, the birthplace of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and stand on the world-renowned Meridian Line. Enjoy sweeping views of London, spanning Greenwich Royal Park, the City of London and the River Thames.

As the historic centre of British astronomy and GMT, the Observatory was established in the 17th century and designed by Sir Christopher Wren. It was here that eminent scientists of the era accurately charted the stars, aiding maritime navigation.
