based on 3655 reviews"The Royal Greenwich Observatory is a fairly small site, but it packs quite a bit in. The telescopes, planetarium, Shepherd Clock, and Harrison clocks would all be worth visiting if you find the history of timekeeping or astronomy, but the £20 price point might be a little high to be honest. I went when it was rainy and a new plaza was under construction, so it would be better on a better day in future. It is a pretty good view of London though, probably would’ve been better if the sun came out."Greenwich9.3km from downtownHighlights: Royal Observatory GreenwichThe Royal Observatory Greenwich is the birthplace of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the location of the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). It is the starting point for calculating geographical longitude and world time zones determined by the international scientific community. This museum, which contains the mysteries of time and astronomy, was designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren, the president of the Royal Society, astronomer and famous architect. It was originally built to find longitude at sea. Visit the early sailing clocks designed by Thomas Tompion, the father of the British watch industry, and get a glimpse of how the British took the lead in exploring the world and trading at that time. In 1884, the international community unanimously agreed to set Greenwich as the location of the prime meridian. Now, you can literally straddle this meridian.You can also visit Flamsteed House, the first building built here, and learn how the Astronomer Royal lived and worked here. You can also go to the Astronomy Center to experience first-hand the work of astronomers, and you can also touch and feel meteorites that fell from the sky 4.5 billion years ago.Peter Harrison PlanetariumWhile you're exploring the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, you can also visit London's only planetarium - the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Various performances will be staged here every day, bringing you a wonderful and dreamlike experience like a movie scene.

- 5.64.3/593 ReviewFreebased on 826 reviews"The second CBD is also a lot of high-rise buildings and denser than the City.

Historical background British ports used to be the distribution center of world trade, advanced and prosperous, Canary Wharf is London's outstanding dock. At that time, Canary Wharf was a never-night pier, large and small ships were loading and unloading on the water, and many ships were waiting at the anchorage outside. However, in the 1960s, due to the shrinking of the maritime industry, some of the original port terminals in London gradually declined until they were closed, and the 22-square-kilometer terminal in Canary was one of them. In the mid-1980s, the City of London established the Docklands Development Corporation, which began a comprehensive transformation of the area.

- 5.54.4/580 ReviewFrom42.48based on 3003 reviews"I thought it was just a display, but I didn't expect it to be very interesting. It is a museum remodeled by the station. So it is better to restore the original meaning of traffic. Next to Covent Garden, there are vehicles from all periods, including rickshaws/wagons/steam locomotives until modern ground transportation. There are also graphic displays and simulated driving. Many London locals also bring children to play. It's not lively, that is, the fare is not cheap."London.Theatreland464m from downtownHighlights: Experience the history of London and its transport since 1800 with the history and origins of buses, trams, trains, taxis, river boats, cycles and walking. Also in the museum are films, posters and functioning models of modern and older transportation modes. Exhibits and shows include the role and varied experiences of women working for London Transport and the history of London Transport during World War II. Utilizing actors, interactive displays and even bus simulators, this truly is a journey you won't want to miss. Other highlights include Harry Beck's original 1930s artwork for the famous Underground map and interactive "Futures" and "Coming Soon Galleries," which demonstrate our impact on the environment of future London. If you thought you had seen it all, think again.Show Less
