“Don’t miss the Astronomy Photography competition exhibition. It’s truly amazing. We also love the section on past battles such as Battle of Trafalgar and all the history on Nelson. So interesting and very interactive. Great for kids too. 👍 We love the shop and the outdoor cafe at the back facing Greenwich Park. What a view with Royal Observatory in sight. 🤩”
