This ticket grants access to the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London, where visitors can stand on the Prime Meridian Line separating the eastern and western hemispheres. The visit lasts about two hours and includes a free audio guide available in ten languages. Visitors begin their tour in the Meridian Courtyard at the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The route continues through Flamsteed House and the Octagon Room, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, featuring historical clocks such as Harrison’s timepieces and the Shepherd Gate Clock, the first public clock to display GMT. The observatory also displays the Time Ball atop Flamsteed House, an early public time signal still in use since 1833, and the Great Equatorial Telescope inside the onion dome, which provided astronomers with new perspectives over a century ago. The Royal Observatory sits on a hill within Greenwich Royal Park, offering views of London, the City, and the River Thames. Nearby, visitors may also access the National Maritime Museum and Queen’s House, both free to enter and within walking distance. Please note that transportation to and from the site is not included. Children under four enter free, but all children must be accompanied by an adult. Some areas of the attraction are partially inaccessible; visitors requiring assistance should contact the venue in advance.
