Overview

As Europeans took to the seas to explore the world and trade with other countries, astronomical information of sufficient quantity and accuracy to aid navigation, cartography and timekeeping was needed, including working out how to measure longitude.
It was this conundrum that would lead to the founding of the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Additional Information

Located in the Astronomy Centre at the Royal Observatory, the Astronomy Café & Terrace is open at weekends and school holidays to Planetarium ticket holders. You can also pick up refreshments from stalls just outside the main entrance to the Observatory, or head towards the Parkside Café just down the hill at the National Maritime Museum.
Entry to Planetarium Shows is not included in your ticket.
The ticket is valid only for one visit, at the time specified on the ticket.
