About Royal Observatory Greenwich
The Greenwich Meridian Line, Longitude 0°, is the centre of world time, defined by a transit instrument and line across the Observatory courtyard. Endorsed by international
agreement in 1884 as the Prime Meridian of the world, it attracts visitors from around the
globe to stand astride the line that divides East and West. You can see the 17th century rooms occupied by the first Astronomer Royal, the observation room with its early Tompion clocks and displays on the development of improved navigation at sea that led to Britain’s leadership in world exploration and trade for several centuries.
The most important, intricate, marine timekeepers of John Harrison, the carpenter/inventor, are all on display alongside the earliest accurate clocks used to establish Greenwich as the world standard for accurate time signals. These Greenwich clocks became the centre for sending the time signal throughout Britain and later by cable to synchronise with other nations. New galleries explore how time impacts on our daily life and the giant 28” refracting telescope can be seen.
Planetarium
Take a journey through time and space at London’s only public planetarium. The planetarium’s visually captivating shows provide a magnificent introduction to the mysteries and wonders of the universe, with information from NASA telescopes and the latest terrestrial technology revealing the secrets of pulsars and black holes. All shows are hosted by Royal Observatory astronomers who are available to answer questions after the main programme. All shows are suitable for children aged 7+. Secret of the Cardboard Rocket and Stargazing for Beginners are also suitable for under-5s.
Visitors can also try their hand at being an astronomer, guide a space mission or touch a meteorite which is over 4.5 billion years old at the Astronomy Galleries in the Astronomy Centre.

At Wedgwood we are extremely proud of the heritage of our company, of the legacy of our founder, Josiah Wedgwood and of the Centre itself. We are also confident in our proven ability to make your visit a truly memorable experience.
At the Centre, in addition to world-class restaurants and shopping for exquisite ceramic and glass tableware and gifts, we can offer everyone – from the connoisseur to the casual visitor, for adults and children, whether of UK or international origin, an enthralling experience.
Our factory tours are, we believe, among the best in the world and they offer an unparalleled opportunity to see the world famous Wedgwood production facility at close quarters and in its full detail.
And, having seen how we make our products, you can have a go at making them yourself on either the potter’s wheel or with paint and brush. What you make we can finish and post to your home as a unique souvenir of your visit.
Finally, our exhibitions (available in 5 languages) and film theatre tell the history of our company through film, audio guides and Museum pieces.
This history, though, is much more than just the story of a pottery company and the man who founded it. Rather, it forms a unique part of the history of the Industrial Revolution and of the Enlightenment in Britain in all its myriad aspects.
It is a tale we eagerly look forward to telling you.
