"Discover England's Rich and Royal Maritime History To do Greenwich properly, you should really arrive by boat. After all, this is the site of the former Tudor palace that was home to Henry VIII, which is now buried beneath the Old Royal Naval College — a former hospital for wounded sailors turned training establishment for the British Navy. Those beautiful Christopher Wren-designed buildings (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) are worth the trip alone — and free to enter—but the National Maritime Museum is a fascinating attraction, telling the story of how Britannia came to rule the waves. As well as a roster of constantly changing exhibitions, the museum incorporates entry to the Royal Observatory where you can stand on the Prime Meridian, and there's the famous Cutty Sark , the only remaining ship of its kind. As for getting there and away, take the Thames Clippers service for a view of London from the river."

🖼️ Wow, what a huge museum including a park! It is definitely a must see if you visit London. There is a lot of history to see both outside and inside. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take many photos, so I only uploaded these here. the area is really, really big. 📣 If you liked my Google Maps reviews, I would be happy about a like here.

Lovely place, and it's well worth buying membership. You got free access for one year to the Observatory, Planetarium and Cutty Sark, skip the line at the National Maritime Museum, and discount at the shops. Playground and ice cream near the Queen House and also beautiful park and views.

Royal Museums Greenwich is home to the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the iconic tea clipper Cutty Sark, the Queen's House, National Maritime Museum and the Queen's House - all at the heart of Greenwich's UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Great venue to interact with our history or just stroll the grounds

Went to the royal observatory. It was a great day out with lovely views. It was quite a steep walk up, and we went to the wrong place at first. Would love to come back and explore more of the area

It’s difficult to add to what has already been said by previous reviewers. Greenwich has a fascinating history. You learn so much from walking around the Royal Observatory and the related buildings. They exhibits, including the Cutty Sark, really help you relive history. At Greenwich there is also the the best free view of the City. Don’t miss it.

Very interesting museum, so much to learn. Amazing feeling to have the prime meridian between your feet. I'm finding a bit the food at cafeteria overrated.

Casual museumgoer? This place has a lot of neat stuff. Serious nautical or astronomy buff, or general enthusiast of scientific or world history? This collection is one of the unparalleled gems and should not be missed for any reason. Why? The establishment of formal western astronomy and the standard of timekeeping happened right here. All the relevant artifacts are right inside. Secondary to that, this collection holds 4/5 of the original John Harrison clocks/chronometers, H1-H4, the devices that changed history and solved the issue of determining longitude at sea. All but H4 are displayed still operational, as is Harrison's Late Regulator as a bonus prize. I'm not mentioning the dozens of other spectacular objects such as beautiful armillary spheres and an ornate orrery. From Flamsteed's house and observatory, to the history of timekeeping down in the lowest level, this series of displays draws the visitor into the world of the earliest astronomers and allows someone with little mathematical understanding but much enthusiasm a window into this era, laid out clearly, easy to follow. If a person can't learn something and find this exciting, they didn't wish to interact with what is in front of them or learn because I can't give high enough marks to the quality of this exhibit.
