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.
Suitable for those interested in the history of astronomy and watchmaking.
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.
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++++++
The guided tour was very informative - well worth paying for. Learned a lot more than if I had just done the self-guided.
Hi There, Thank you for your feedback, it's great to hear that purchasing the ticket for the guided tour added a little sparkle to your visit with us. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
You must take the tour if you go - you get so much more of the experience and the tour guides are great. My teenage son and I really enjoyed our afternoon there!
Hi There, Thank you for leaving us some feedback. We do shout this from the rooftops of the Observatory but it is always great to hear that we're not the only ones who think our tour guides are fantastic at delivering the history of the Observatory in a very quick 45 minute tour. We are very glad that both yourself and your son had a great afternoon with us learning all things Time and Space for the Royal Observatory
Was a great experience. I enjoyed really.
Hi There, We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience visiting us at the Royal Observatory, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future
The views from the mount are spectacular. Although it’s quite a steep ascent, it only takes a few minutes to get to the top. The displays are informative. It is only £10 to enter on a Tuesday this month, instead of the normal £24. It was quiet when we were there.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and some feedback about your visit to the Royal Observatory. Currently during June, every Tuesday we are having a promotion on our tickets so they are £10. Please keep an eye on our website for more upcoming summer deals on our tickets so you can make the most of your visit to Greenwich. During the summer, we receive an influx of overseas visitors usually from 10am, so we do recommend visiting in late afternoon/early evening to avoid the queues; we are open until 7pm until August 31st (last entry at 6pm)
For only extra £5, I have had a great guided tour of the Observatory. Thank you so much to the lady guide who made it a wonderful experience
Hi AlexSorana, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback about your guided tour of the Royal Observatory. We're very pleased to hear you found the tour great, we will pass your kind words on to our team who deliver these tours daily. They all work incredibly hard to deliver the immense history of the site in a 45 minute condensed version and it's great to see that their drive and passion is enjoyed by people like yourself.
