Welcome to London
The Royal Observatory Greenwich is preparing for an evening of
Valentine fun with a romantically themed planetarium show and a chance
to look at the night sky through a giant historic telescope.
Visitors can enjoy some time on the Meridian Line with an amazing view
and a warming hot drink. The event provides an opportunity to visit the
Royal Observatory Greenwich after hours and to meet the team of
astronomers with whom guests can discuss topics from historical astronomy
right through to the contemporary exploration of the universe.
The Valentine’s Evenings will take place on 8 and 14 February, with
various timeslots to choose from 17.25 onwards.
