Treat a budding astronomer or history enthusiast to a day spent at the Royal Observatory. Set on a steep hill in the scenic Greenwich Park, this renowned attraction is where time first began. It was founded by King Charles II who wanted to develop improved naval navigation systems for explorers and traders at sea. Stand astride the Prime Meridian Line, stroll around the elegant Flamsteed House, watch the time ball drop, admire the Harrison clocks and learn about longitude. The Royal Observatory is also the perfect place to observe some of the best scenery in London. Admire breath-taking views of the River Thames, Greenwich and the city beyond. Make the most of this memorable day out for two and celebrate in style with a glass of prosecco each at the National Maritime Museum!
