The Royal Observatory

London, Great Britain

 

Harriet Wiseman

Sir Christopher Wren designed the Royal Observatory’s historic Flamsteed House in 1675; this original building is still open to the public and houses the UK’s largest refracting telescope. This is where the Prime Meridian of the World is situated and you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere. Don’t miss the Octagonal room at the top of the house that Wren built as an incredible observing space.
