In 1675, Charles II established the Royal Observatory at Greenwich
The Weller Astronomy Galleries are part of the Royal Observatory's recent spectacular £15 million redevelopment which also includes the Peter Harrison Planetarium and Lloyd's Trust Learning Centre. The galleries are located in the South Building at the Royal Observatory. In 1997,UNESCO awarded World Heritage Site status to the Maritime Museum so you don’t have to take just our word about this naval attraction.
The buildings & architecture alone of this superb London museum merits a visit.
