Original Text
Greenwich Observatory, Royal Greenwich Observatory, also known as Greenwich Observatory, is located in the southeastern suburbs of London, Greenwich Town, and is also one of the famous attractions in the London metropolitan area. In 1675, the Royal Observatory of Great Britain was founded here. After the Royal Observatory moved to a new site in 1950, the Observatory was designated as the National Maritime Museum, its astronomical station, astronomical instrument hall, etc., mainly for exhibitions, and is one of the pivots of London's tourism industry. Concern: the original meridian: 1884, the international longitude conference in Washington, D.C., decided to use the meridian, which is located by the Greenwich Observatory, as the standard reference meridian for global time and longitude measurement, called the meridian or zero meridian. Since then, the world map has used this line as the starting point of geographical longitude, and the world timekeeping has also used the Greenwich Observatory as the starting point of the "World Time Zone" and the timekeeping instrument of Greenwich to calibrate the time. Tips: Open all year except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Open daily: 10 am to 5 pm, stop after 4:30 pm. Good news: The observatory is open for free. Transportation: If you drive by yourself, you can check the location of Greenwich, London SE10 8XJ. Southeastern Line to Greenwich station. Light rail DLR to Cutty Sark station. Small experience: You can buy City Pass, including cruise tickets, unlimited cruises in 24 hours, and take to Greenwich on the Thames. Pay attention to the time to arrange your visit. Tips: After visiting the Greenwich Observatory, you must not miss the Royal Maritime Museum and the Royal Palace of Greenwich.

    4/5Excellent

    Nice place located in a neat park, on a hilltop with a spectacular view over the city. Of course, the prime meridian is the main attraction and a must-see for London visitors. The observatory itself is lavishly restored and conserved.However, the entrance fee is bold, bordering on insolent. Almost £ 70 for a four-headed family (two minors) is a lot, especially considering the exposition and features on location. Not really value for money; rating reduced to some rather weak four stars.

    beautiful park, plenty of restaurants and nice views.Greenwich Park is a historic park located in Greenwich, London, England. It's notable for being home to the Prime Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory, marking the division between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The park itself is beautiful, featuring landscaped gardens, the National Maritime Museum, and stunning views of the River Thames and Canary Wharf.

    The famous Greenwich Observatory, there are still endless people coming to check in. In fact, I enjoy the way to the Observatory more, the scenery is always on the road, especially standing in the open space overlooking the city of London and the old Royal Naval Academy and museum at the foot of the mountain.
