This was resolved when King Charles II decided to look into investing in astronomy. On March 4th 1675, the King was recommended by the Royal Commission for the establishment of Britain\u2019s first state-funded scientific institution, an observatory and the assignment of an astronomer. King Charles reportedly called for immediate action and on the same day, John Flamsteed was named \u2018astronomer\u2019 and the first part of the Observatory to be built was the Flamsteed House. In 1818, the Royal Observatory was reassigned to the Admiralty for significant expansion. At present, the Royal Observatory features a record of a working observatory with instruments belonging to the 18th &amp; 19th centuries.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"royalobservatory2\">Royal Observatory Greenwich Tickets<\/h2>\n<h2>Royal Observatory Greenwich Entrance Tickets<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Explore the Royal Observatory<\/li>\n<li>See the amazing Flamsteed House<\/li>\n<li>Stand on the Prime Meridian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"www.headout.com\/tour\/10218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>BUY TICKETS<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Royal Museums of Greenwich Day Explorer Pass<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Admission to the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory<\/li>\n<li>Admire Harrison\u2019s ingenious marine clocks<\/li>\n<li>Plan to spend a whole day here<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/attractions-in-london\/royal-museums-of-greenwich-day-explorer-e-9073\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>BUY TICKETS<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"royalobservatory3\">Must-See At The Greenwich Observatory<\/h2>\n<h3>Flamsteed House<\/h3>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/4602aeafdb4a7956e98bcd0a77b56ffb-Royal%20Observatory%20Greenwich%203.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;h=550&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"723\" height=\"450\" alt=\"royal observatory greenwich\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2038895191\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first part of the Observatory to be built was the Flamsteed House. It was built with the intention to serve as a home for the Royal Astronomer and for the entertainment of their guests. This House has been the home to many astronomers, children, cooks, nursemaids as well as servants. It is considered as one of the most famous spots in the observatory where visitors can go for an audio guide tour to learn more about the house.<\/p>\n<h3>Time Ball<\/h3>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/f17c5d6acf072455eab59664a2055876-Royal%20Observatory%20Greenwich%204.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=1500&amp;h=900&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"723\" height=\"350\" alt=\"royal observatory greenwich\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"652480546\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to watch the red time ball rise and drop at 1 pm, which takes place every day in the yard. In 1833, the first public time signal in England was broadcasted from the roof of Flamsteed House, by dropping a ball at an estimated time. Ever since then, this ceremony takes place each day at 12.55 when the ball hoisted at the centre of a pole, reaches the top at two minutes to the hour and exactly at 1.00, the time ball drops.<\/p>\n<h3>Prime Meridian Courtyard<\/h3>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/cf3cc7def903876693c2b0b1d8332354-Royal%20Observatory%20Greenwich%205.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;h=580&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"723\" height=\"450\" alt=\"royal observatory greenwich\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1622970739\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p> The Prime Meridian Courtyard is a must see when you visit the Royal Observatory. A brass line in the ground is where you find the east meeting the west and you can feel like a superhero with one foot on the eastern hemisphere and the other on the western hemisphere. The Observatory has been the historical origin of the world\u2019s Prime Meridian since the late 19th century. In October 1884, Greenwich was chosen as the Prime Meridian of the World and has also won the prize of Longitude 0\u00ba during the International Meridian Conference which was held in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n<h3>Great Equatorial Telescope<\/h3>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/9f0a53bd88a5e51b18f7c87d955c2b6a-Royal%20Observatory%20Greenwich%206.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=761&amp;h=450&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"723\" height=\"450\" alt=\"royal observatory greenwich\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3169224211\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p> Gaze upon one of the biggest telescopes in the world as you stand in awe under the stunning fibreglass dome of the Royal Observatory.

The mount on which the telescope rests rotates on the same axis as that of Earth\u2019s which allows it to follow a star from east to west across the sky. This 28-inch refracting telescope is the seventh largest in the world and should be on your list of places to visit in the Royal Observatory.<\/p>\n<h3>Peter Harrison Planetarium<\/h3>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/c2362ccfcb39cd06dcba4b18eb94c3b9-Royal%20Observatory%20Greenwich%207.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=761&amp;h=450&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"723\" height=\"450\" alt=\"royal observatory greenwich\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3300605412\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p> The shows in Peter Harrison planetarium are high quality and the information is absolutely mindblowing. It is highly recommended for everyone, families and couples to visit this planetarium! For the best views of the shows, one can head all the way to the back of the planetarium where the seats are super comfy. If you&#8217;re an adult who is interested in space then you can also visit some of the night shows. End your day by picking a beautiful picnic spot in the lush green park or stroll around the park.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"royalobservatory4\">Plan Your Visit<\/h2>\n<h5>Royal Observatory Opening Hours:<\/h5>\n<p>Daily: 10 AM to 5 PM<\/p>\n<h5>Getting There:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Ride the metro using the Docklands Light Railway with your destination as the Greenwich Cutty Sark stop, which takes about 20 minutes from Central London.<\/li>\n<li>Hop on a double-decker bus to enjoy the London breeze with bus stops located near the Royal Observatory along the Routes 53, 54, 202 and 380.
