Bound to be a highlight for any geography buff or anyone interested in world exploration.
Home of Greenwich Mean Time & the Prime Meridian, the Royal Observatory is considered one of the world's most important & historic scientific sites. It is the official starting point for every day, year & millennium at the stroke of midnight Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), as measured from the Prime Meridian. It is fun to stand in the eastern & western hemispheres, simultaneously, by placing your feet on either side of the Prime Meridian....a good photo op!
place 2 go!! Take the walking way under the Thames river!
The trip out to Greenwich was well worth it. The views were lovely from the top of the observatory. The museum was interesting. And in general, it was pretty neat to stand on either side of the hemispheres.
