Today marks the 350th anniversary of Royal Observatory Greenwich! Historically founded on 22 June 1675 under the royal decree by King Charles II, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park is a premier scientific institution that pioneered modern astronomy and also hosts the only planetarium in London.
The site is most famous for being the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as well as the locus of the astronomic Prime Meridian line. It will also host multiple events this year, and therefore it is a perfect moment to visit here; especially during the annual seasons of meteor shower with a telescope!
