    Make your way to the Royal Observatory Greenwich which is located on a hill in Greenwich Royal Park. As you do, you will enjoy dramatic views of London across Greenwich Royal Park, the City of London and the River Thames. Once inside, you can pick up a complementary audio guide. There are 7 languages available. Your visit will begin in the Meridian Courtyard where you will stand astride the Prime Meridian Line, with one foot in the east and the other in the west at the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).   The tour will take you through Flamsteed House where you will walk in the footsteps of the Astronomers Royal. Visit the Octagon Room which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and is one of the best preserved Wren interiors in London. See Harrison’s clocks, the inventions that changed the world. Discover the Shepherd Gate Clock, mounted outside, which was the first clock to show Greenwich Mean Time to the public. Learn about the discoveries of great scientists and inventors based at or associated with the Royal Observatory, including Harrison, Newton, Halley, Bradley, Maunder, Harrison, Airy, Einstein. The bright red Time Ball on top of Flamsteed House is one of the world’s earliest public time signals and was first used in 1833 and still operates today. Don’t miss the Great Equatorial Telescope, located in the huge iconic onion dome, which gave astronomers new views of the universe over 100 years ago.  Located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Maritime Greenwich, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen’s House are both located within a short walking distance from the Observatory and are free to visit. Cutty Sark, the world’s sole-surviving tea clipper is now an award-winning museum and visitor experience and is a must-see when visiting Greenwich.

The observatory staff could not read the vouchers / barcode provided by Viator and we had to purchase tickets again. Not recommended to book via Viator - best to buy tickets at the entrance since it is not so crowded. You pay extra to buy tickets on Viator and get a bad surprise when you try to access the observatory. Not recommended at all!

Eye wateringly expensive for what it is. Limited information, limited things to see. Feels as if the museum is behind the times, not nearly as good as the maritime museum experience. When I asked if there was an accessible way to see the telescope, I was question about whether I had a ticket.

Have always been intrigued to go to the Royal Observatory, having been close many times over the years. But entry price is extortionate. £24 per person is full London tourist rip off price. Definitely not value for money. Sure, it had some interesting moments but not £24 worth. Best bit were the rooms above the shop. And, if you are into your Instagram pictures, a shot with the Meridian line would be on your hit list. Wish we hadn't bothered to go in. Would have been better to see from the outside and enjoy the views over London from Greenwich Park. If you have an interest in architecture, wander over to the other side of the park and look at Vanbrugh House, former home of the famous architect. Not accessible but interesting to see exterior.
