Outing to Greenwich today. Lunch in the lovely park area with food from Greenwich Markets. Markets very very busy – beautiful sunny day.
Walked up the hill to the Royal Observatory, Planetarium, Altazimuth Pavilion with telescope for viewing the sun, Shepherd 24 hour Gate Clock which always shows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), The Time Ball – one of the world’s first visual time signals and of course the Prime Meridian Line. Stood with my feet in the East and the West at the same time. Just cause its what you do! The boys visited the Clock Museum.
Also here is the National Maritime Museum – outside is the world’s largest ship in a bottle – a scale replica of Nelson’s ship the “Victory”.
Some great views of London from the top of the hill. Photos Greenwich
