Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.
00:04
Greenwich, located in South East London, is world famous for its connection to time and navigation.
00:10
It's home to the Prime Meridian, the line that divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres,
00:15
and the basis for the Greenwich Mean Time, also known as GMT.
00:19
This makes it the historic centre of global timekeeping.
00:23
Greenwich also played a key role in maritime history. The Royal Observatory, established in 1675,
00:30
helped sailors navigate the seas accurately, and nearby Cutty Sark, a 19th century tea clipper,
00:36
and the National Maritime Museum celebrate Britain's naval past.
00:41
With its beautiful parks, historic architecture and riverside views, Greenwich blends science, history and culture,
00:48
making it one of London's most fascinating districts.
