Flamsteed House

The views from here are breathtaking. Definitely worth the climb up the hill. Get your workout done for the day!

Absolutely a wonderful place to visit. This is the original House of all the astronomer Royals. Here you can see all the history of the devices used to to measure longitude as well as astronomical observations. .If you are a fan of History than this is a must places to visit. This place also has all four John Harrison Marine Timepieces.

After reading longitude, I had always wanted to see Harrisons clocks. They are marvels of the modern age. The significance of this place allowed the age of discovery to meet with science. It surpassed my expectations and the wait to finally travel here was worth it.

I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting the visit was into this house/museum. Ticket price is £16 which includes access to the prime meridian. An audio tour is provided via a handset (bring your own earphones) and offers a thorough explanation of this areas history and the development of time keeping. Absolutely worth the ticket price and a visit inside.

Watch closely! Flamsteed House, built between 1675-1676, was Greenwich's original principal observatory. The building is named after John Flamsteed (1646-1719), the first Astronomer Royal of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The Ocatgon Room, the main workspace for the astronomers, is particularly interesting. Furthermore, a lot of attention is paid to time measurement and the longitude issue. Extremely interesting!

Beautiful views and certainly worth the price of admission.

A symbolical plac, but not much to see in this house itself
