After a boat ride down the river Thames we will find that Greenwich is stuffed full of art, architecture and science, boasting Inigo Jones, Wren, Webb, ‘Athenian’ Stuart, West, Thornhill, Hogarth and Van de Velde. In Wren’s Observatory we will discover the secrets of longitude and Harrison’s clocks, as well as the meaning of Greenwich Mean Time.

Don’t forget that it is important to see Greenwich in its full glory before the Olympics take over the show!

NB: The cost of this event includes entrance to the Royal Observatory, the boat journey and site contributions.
