Greenwich Part III

We returned to Greenwich for the third time to attempt to cover the cluster of buildings designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, and to visit the Royal Observatory where the Prime Meridian line is located. As usual, we walked from our house to Greenwich using the Victorian foot tunnel which runs beneath the Thames river.

We ended spending the afternoon exclusively at the latter site because of the fascinating exhibits (check out the clocks!) and because we wanted to take things easy (actually we were just unfit). Guess there will be a Greenwich Part IV....


Are we in the eastern or western hemisphere? Straddling the Prime Meridian line at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
