Travel Diaries - #The Greenwich Meridian Line
I had studied about the The Greenwich Meridian Line in my school books and it was always something that interested me and wanted to see and experience what it would be like to be in this type of a place with so much significance to our world. When I was young there was no access to Internet and for me this seemed to be something of real fascination, so it was from that time that it had become one of the places to must see.
This sounds little geeky but when I was in school my favorite subject was Geography and if someone would ask me which are my favorite places to visit very instantly I would say Switzerland, Paris and London. To be very honest I never knew where on the map they were but it was like just that I wanted to be there some day and to my very good luck my first international trip was to Switzerland and London and then Paris happened much later. But the first trip happened within 2 years of me started working where in for 2 years I only saved money to visit to these places.
When I visited London for sure the Greenwich was something I did not want to miss and I did not. Then around 3 years back we again visited London with my Son and the Greenwich was on my list again as I was so excited to show this place to my son also.
The meridian line in Greenwich represents the Prime Meridian of the world, Longitude Zero (0° 0' 0"), the Line where the East meets West. The second time we visited we saw little changes in the place, there was a lot more beautification done but the other difference was the number of visitors. The place was crowded and there was an extraordinary long queue. There is a Royal Observatory also in this place. You can spend around half a day here, though for the Line there is nothing much to see but it is just about witnessing something significant.
You have to get this pose here :-)
The observatory is also interesting. These are few of the displays that got me attracted a lot.

I remember going to see The Greenwich Meridian Line when I was at school. We went on a boat trip on Thames on the same trip ... I dropped my apple pie over the side accidentally 😃

I never been in an observatory but I will be happy if I could spend some time into one @nainaztengra
May all your wishes come true my dear 💚
the place is worth of visiting by all means!
so happy family;) I like to look at your photos...so warm energy;)
Wow! That is the first time I've ever seen a picture of the Prime Meridian (or the monument to it, anyway). Maps, not so much geography, have been a fascination of mine for as long as I can remember. So much so that people bring me maps back when they go on vacation. You can see why a blog about the Prime Meridian delights me.
Also, your family is lovely :)
