UK - Greenwich

Timeline - July 2018
Tripmates - Karthik, Siva, Gopu

Greenwich by Thames is nice plan to spend evenings. One can walk around the tall buildings and visit the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Greenwich market is also a traditional local area to visit.

The prime meridian - zero longitude is based at the Royal Observatory. The park and the hill to climb is open for all at all times. The observatory, where you get to see the line and the museum inside requires you to buy 15 Pounds entry fee. Plan for atleast 1 hour inside to take photographs and know the facts behind defining the zero longitude. Though time and sun dials were in prominent use for long time in India, GMT was documented to hold zero longitude as reference to time.

One gets to see many items used during the reference in museum.

Local market - close to the Cutty Sark station for Greenwich. This place is a timekiller to buy local items, veggies and food.
