Rejseplan
Gør din vej til Royal Observatory Greenwich, som ligger på en bakke i Greenwich Royal Park. Som du gør, vil du nyde dramatisk udsigt over London over Greenwich Royal Park, City of London og Themsen. Når du er indeni, kan du hente en komplementær lydguide. Der er 7 sprog til rådighed. Dit besøg vil begynde i Meridian Courtyard, hvor du vil stå over for Prime Meridian Line, med en fod i øst og den anden i vest ved Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Turen tager dig gennem Flamsteed House, hvor du vil gå i fodsporene til Astronomer Royal. Besøg Octagon Room, som blev designet af Sir Christopher Wren og er et af de bedst bevarede Wren-interiører i London. Se Harrisons ure, opfindelserne, der ændrede verden. Opdag Shepherd Gate Clock, monteret udenfor, som var det første ur til at vise Greenwich Mean Time til offentligheden. Lær om opdagelser af store forskere og opfindere baseret på eller forbundet med Det Kongelige Observatorium, herunder Harrison, Newton, Halley, Bradley, Maunder, Harrison, Airy, Einstein. Den lysrøde Time Ball oven på Flamsteed House er et af verdens tidligste offentlige tidssignaler og blev først brugt i 1833 og fungerer stadig i dag. Gå ikke glip af det store ekvatorialt teleskop, der ligger i den store ikoniske løgkuppel, som gav astronomer nye visninger af universet for over 100 år siden. Beliggende på UNESCOs verdensarvliste for Maritime Greenwich er både Maritime Maritime Museum og Queen's House begge inden for kort gåafstand fra Observatoriet og kan frit besøge. Cutty Sark, verdens eneste overlevende te clipper er nu et prisvindende museum og besøgserfaring og er et must-see, når du besøger Greenwich.

Really not worth the entry fee, prime meridian and the telescope were cool but thats about it
Use the buy one get one free tickets if you travelled to London by train. The audio tour is via your phone so don’t forget the headphones. If you blink you may miss the prime meridian.
Not very engaging. Would Not waste money . Just not really for kids and even an an adult it would have been dull
It is rare I write a poor review but I think it is important to highlight a tourist experience that I think lacks transparency. We went out to Greenwich to visit the Royal Observatory as we had been there before and wanted our children to experience it. We paid in and expected the same as our previous visit but shortly into it I asked for for directions to the planetarium to be told that it is closed for refurb and will be so for 2 years. It was no information alerting us to this anywhere and it is not clearly stated on the website. While the time line etc is interesting it is very historic and lacks excitement for children and teenagers. I would encourage that the current closure of the plantarium to more clearly and widely communicated to visitors.
As part of a group in the afternoon of the 28 of June that was under the scheme "Universal Credit days out" I felt very unwelcomed. Later I heard others on the group complained as the team leader had some bossy attitudes towards the group and make us feel badly.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback about your visit to the Royal Observatory. We're sorry to hear that you felt unwelcomed; we would like to encourage you to contact our Bookings team and provide more details as to what made you feel unwelcomed and any particular specifics you can share with us so that we can ensure this doesn't happen again
Interesting site with lots to see. Very pleasant and peaceful location away from busier London tourist traps. But we had a few complaints: moscow was listed on the Prime Meridian line, but not Kyiv. The Ukrainian capital was also spelled in it's russian version in some exhibits.
Thank you for taking the time and leaving us some feedback about your visit to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. We're very glad you found your visit peaceful and the wider setting of Greenwich park enjoyable. Your feedback and comments are appreciated, particularly concerning the inconsistency in interpretation; we will be taking your comments into consideration and feeding this back to our interpretation and curatorial teams. The Royal Observatory is beginning to undergo a once in a generation renovation project; as part of this the Meridian Line will also be included in the refurbishment.
Suitable for those interested in the history of astronomy and watchmaking.
Thank you for leaving us a review and a sentence about your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed your visit to the Royal Observatory; we share the history of time, space and navigation with our visitors. We are currently undergoing a once in a generation renovation project (First Light) which will help us continue on in this journey
My husband and I took the Thames Clipper Uber boat from the Westminster pier in London which was such an easy and enjoyable way to get to Greenwich. My research did not uncover the walk up to the Observatory; more difficult for my husband, but it is shady and there are lots of benches. I guess a shuttle is available on the weekend. I loved this so much more than I expected. I found the audio device very helpful and although we missed the museum provided tour (for an extra charge), for a portion of our walking around we were close enough to hear the guide, and it appeared very helpful and interesting. I love history and although I was familiar with the concept of Greenwich Mean Time, I did not completely understand the laborious and lengthy process it took for scientists and astronomers to establish a standard of time that could apply worldwide. The exhibits and especially the placards were well done and very informative. It was so surprising for me to learn that the 24 time zones of the world were only adopted in the 1880's. We visited in late May, when a record heat wave was occuring (90+ degrees ) and so didn't linger after completing our visit. However, the grounds appeared extensive, and well kept and such a great view across the Thames of London.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback and a review. We're glad you found the experience surprisingly delightful! There is a buggy available during summer season Fri-Sun and sometimes every day, however this is run by Greenwich Park volunteers so is subject to staffing with them. We're glad you enjoyed your time with us and hope you can return soon to spend a whole day!
We hadn’t realised this was an audio tour where we had to use our phones to listen to the commentary. We had a time slot but could have gone any time really. You scan a QR code and off you go . To be honest we put our phones away and just read the information sheets as we went around. It’s quite an interesting place to visit. It’s £10 on Tuesdays and I think that’s a fair price to pay
Paul Miller was by far one of the best tour guides ever. I didn't even know I was interested in astronomy until I met Paul. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and clever, and I wouldn't be surprised if in a prior life he was an actor or a comedian. You will learn about science and history. The tour was only an additional £5, and it was totally worth it. A++++++
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback about our tour guide Paul. He is definitely a Jack of all trades and we're thrilled you enjoyed your time with him as much as we do! We will be sure to pass your kind words to him
