About Royal Observatory & Prime Meridian: Early Access + Guided Tour
Founded in 1675, the Royal Observatory is Britain’s oldest scientific institution. Get a chance to see it before the crowds arrive.
You'll stand on the Prime Meridian and step into the birthplace of modern astronomy. Your knowledgeable guide will explain the history of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the search for longitude.
See the Octagon Room, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and enjoy a tour that brings to life the stories of how the Prime Meridian was established in Greenwich.
What to expect on your tour
Your guide leads you through the experience, sharing insights, stories, and local knowledge along the way. The tour is designed to give you a deeper understanding of what you are seeing, beyond what you could discover on your own. Ask questions, take photos, and enjoy learning from an expert.
