About the Royal Observatory Greenwich
Home to the Greenwich Meridian and the world famous astronomy, this is part heritage site and part collection of museums.
On display are a number of telescopes and scientific instruments for studying the stars, but as there is an associated link, a lot about the hunt for recording longitude by sailors.
Also includes a planetarium.
IMPORTANT - Although venues are reopening, their hours may differ from normal, and most now need prebooking before you visit.
