My guide today Ross 18th Nov was really brilliant, he only had myself to do the tour with but he completely gave me the full works with his superior knowledge of the Observatory.

It was a fabulous experience where I got to see the life of the astronomers and their families in the observatory and their significance in the studies of geography and the cosmos!

Take the Uber Boat from central London - it adds to the day. Did both Cutty Sark and the Observatory, and recommend both. Liked that neither location swamped you with information - very well laid out
