Inside the observatory, you can see historical chronometers and telescopes that contributed to the development of navigation and astronomy. The planetarium offers impressive space shows that deepen your understanding of stars and planets. The observatory is situated on a hill, providing a stunning view of London's beautiful cityscape, especially on clear days.
