Easy to use. Just show the booking for tickets. Please know this trip was way before Covid era.
It's a little far from the center and a bit of a walk from the station, but it's well worth a visit. At first I didn't know where the prime meridian was, but I found it from the line posted on the wall of the building. It was interesting. The building itself is not that big, so I think it takes about an hour to tour the inside. I think it will take a little longer for people who take their time.
It was a place I always wanted to visit when I went to London, and I liked it because it was in harmony with nature and had meaning. Souvenirs are a bit expensive. I took an Uber boat, got off, and walked for about 20 minutes to reach the observatory.
Breathtaking views. Unforgettable experience!!!!Good visit
Had a blast at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich! It's totally worth a visit if you're in London. You can see the Prime Meridian, learn about astronomy, watch a Planetarium show, and get amazing views of the city. Just don't forget to bring your camera!
When I placed an order from klook, I didn't pay special attention to the order name. When I arrived at the scene, the observatory counter couldn't find my order, and they didn't know much about klook's backend system information. I even showed them my card swiping records. It took half an hour to let me in. Putting this issue aside, the staff at the observatory are very patient and helpful. The information in the entire museum is very clear, the route introduction is great, and you can also see the city view of Greenwich!
If you just look at the prime meridian, you won't regret it.
It’s worth a visit, you can learn a lot about astronomy, and the scenery is beautiful!
