Visit the Greenwich Observatory, the world's standard for time. As you probably know, GMT is an abbreviation for Greenwich Mean Time, and the Greenwich Observatory is worth a visit because its mere existence is historical and symbolic.

In addition, the Greenwich Observatory is one of the viewpoints from which you can enjoy the panoramic view of London. It’s even more special because you can see the beautiful Thames River and downtown London at a glance. After visiting the Greenwich Observatory, I recommend enjoying a cute picnic in Greenwich Park.

History of Greenwich Observatory

Visit the Royal Observatory Greenwich to experience two hemispheres of the world in one day and visit the historic home of British astronomy. Admire the world-famous Meridian and stand with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere.
It is still used as a reference point for world time, and Greenwich Mean Time is used as a standard for time zones, playing an important role in determining time around the world.

Take a look at London

Take a tour of London's best-preserved Octagon Room. You can see one of London's most loved views - Royal Greenwich Park, the City of London, and the River Thames. Then visit the modern Astronomy Center, touch a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite from space, and marvel at the wonders of the universe at the Peter Harrison Planetarium!
