This is reminds me of the Irish joke, when asked for the
best way to x, the Irishman replied, If i were you i would
not start from here.
No, LUL stations are not convenient for Greenwich. The
best place to "view" the 0 latitude is the Royal Observatory
in Greenwich Park. Take a train from London Bridge for
Greenwich or Blackheath (a local map may be useful) or DLR
(connects with LUL at various places) to Greenwich/Cutty
Sark station (this is the nearest station to the Park)

Your answer is to tell someone to buy a guide book?


Cheers,

Hi Lawrence!

The tube "proper" (London Underground) does not serve Greenwich (the
Jubilee Line goes to North Greenwich, which is some way off). The nearest
stations to Flamsteed House in Greenwich Park where the 0° line is marked
out are Maze Hill (on the South East Trains line from Charing Cross to
Dartford via Greenwich) and Cutty Sark (on the Docklands Light Railway
line from Bank to Lewisham). They are both covered by a one-day Travelcard
which includes Zones 1 & 2.

so to say,
if i'm going to The Royal Observatory from Waterloo,
i'll have to take the Jubilee Line till Canary Wharf
then transfer to DLR and carry on towards Cutty Sark where i'll alight?

Yes - or take the Waterloo & City Line to Bank and change there.

By the way, Flamsteed House *is* the old Observatory!

Have a good trip. The Maritime Museum is worth a visit, also the
"Longitude" exhibition if it is still there.

Everyone else has suggested you view the Meridian at the old observatory
in Greenwich - and that is certainly the classic place.

But there are numerous other places in Greenwich where it is marked:

In particular, Meridian Point next to the Millenium Dome is only a short
walk away from North Greenwich on the Jubilee line. Whether you find
this as romantic a place as the old observatory, a couple of miles away,
is another matter - but it is at least somewhere where you can easily
have a foot in both hemispheres.

It'd be easier to walk over the bridge to Waterloo East and if there's
a train to Maze Hill from there, get on it, otherwise change at London
Bridge.

That's right! And at Cutty Sark, I think you'll find it's signposted.
Although you might want to download a map of the area from
http://www.multimap.com or http://www.mapquest.co.uk, so that you can
print it out and take it with you if you don't have a map-book.
