The Royal Observatory stands high on a hill in Greenwich Park. It has played an important role in the history of astronomy and navigation, and is best known for the fact that the prime meridian passes through it, and thereby gave its name to Greenwich Mean Time. From the observatory, you are afforded a magnificent view over central London and the Thames.

The Royal Greenwich Observatory, which was built as a workplace for the royal court astronomers, was originally located on a hill in Greenwich Park in Greenwich, London, from where you can see the Thames. The observatory, or rather the center of the telescope in the observatory, was used as a reference for the determination of the zero meridian and thus the longitudes. It is marked in the courtyard by a brass strip. Since December 16, 1999, the line illuminates a powerful green laser shining north through London and Essex at night.
