About Prime Meridian Line Plaque
- π The Prime Meridian Line is located in Greenwich and marks the division between the Eastern and Western hemispheres.
- π It’s where GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) originated, and you can stand with one leg in the East and one leg in the West.
- β° The time-ball drops every day at 1pm to tell Londoners the exact time.
- π There is a great view of the London skyline from this location.
- π° However, there’s a Β£18 entrance fee per person to visit the Observatory and cross over the Prime Meridian Line.
- π· But don’t worry! Just below the court, there’s an extension of the Meridian where you can take photos for free away from crowds if you go through a small black gate.
- πΆββοΈ It’s easy to find from bus stops and only a 10-minute walk from boat docks. Additionally, Greenwich town itself is lovely to explore on foot.
- β¨ Although not widely known or listed as a popular attraction, it was discovered by locals who overheard others talking about it at a sundial nearby.
