Royal Observatory, Greenwich


Royal Observatory, Greenwich
The Royal Observatory, Greenwich is a historic astronomical observatory in Greenwich, which is in East London.

The Royal Observatory, Greenwich was commissioned by King Charles II in 1675. It subsequently went on to make many contributions to science during its long history.

The site was important for astronomical work (which of course had maritime applications), and was where the Prime Meridian (the basis of longitude) was established in 1851, and agreed upon by an international conference in 1884. Additionally, until 1954, Greenwich Meantime (GMT), which is now known as "Universal Time", was calculated based on observations from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
