KS4 (and Post-16) trail

Path closures around the Royal Observatory

The path in front of the Royal Observatory is currently closed as part of a project to restore Greenwich Park's 17th-century landscape. Please leave extra time to arrive at the Observatory if you are attending an event. We recommend taking the main avenue through the Park for step-free access or arriving via Blackheath Gate, see this map for more details.
