This was my second visit to Greenwich, and this time I explored the Royal Observatory. Wow, this place is amazing! There is so much interesting stuff inside, and it was fascinating to see some old phones that I used when I was growing up. The highlight for me was definitely the telescope.
The observatory also has the Meridian Line, which I had never seen before until I visited. It was sad to learn that the observatory will be closing for two years in November for a £77 million revamp and is scheduled to reopen in the summer of 2028. Thankfully, the day I went wasn’t too busy, so I was able to enjoy the museum. The admission fee was £24.
The Royal Observatory was founded in 1675 by King Charles II, and it became a museum in the mid-20th century.
