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.

The prime meridian was first established by Sir George Airy in 1851, and by 1884, over two-thirds of all ships and tonnage used it as the reference meridian on their charts and maps. In the same year, a conference with delegates from 25 states selected the meridian as the official prime meridian. France did not participate in the vote and continued to use the Paris meridian for several decades.
