Home of GMT

As usual, I haven't blogged in a while so I have a few pent-up posts from some new places I have seen recently. I'll start chronologically with the one closest to home, Greenwich.

Greenwich is pretty much the home of time. Greenwich Mean Time, to be exact. Running right through the town is the Prime Meridian, where every new day starts first, with the stroke of midnight GMT. There are lots of photo opportunities with clocks and standing on the line itself (you can find the requisite photos here.)

But other than the clocks, there is also a really interesting museum and exhibit at the original Royal Observatory, which eventually had to move further away from London because of the brightness of the city lights. And like most museums in London, it's free.
