Located 5 miles east of London is the town of Greenwich. Greenwich has played a major role in English history as a port welcoming visitors to London, as well as a place for scientific study and development.
Greenwich consists of several buildings with different significance. The Old Royal Naval College is at the heart of the site. This majestic building has served educational purposes and is symmetrically constructed by the Thames.
The college has a chapel which is a witness of 1800 British architecture. The place served to train the navies of England. Many other famous people from around the world came to study here.
The site also contains the Queen's House. This was the Royal Residence in the 1600s.
Up the hill we can also find the Royal Observatory. It is here that we can find the famous Greenwich Meridian, which marks the "Middle of the Earth," splitting it in its eastern and western hemispheres and marking the time and time zones of the world.
The site includes the Greenwich Park, which has a beautiful view of London, Greenwich and other nearby towns.
Because the place was an intelectual center, it is still regarded as having significance for the scientific community.
