GREENWICH MILLENNIUM NEWS

We will bring you the details as they are released...

 

There are a large number of projects, exhibitions and events being planned independently of the Millennium Exhibition. The Millennium Exhibition will be on a large site on the Greenwich peninsular where the Meridian Line meets the River Thames. Other major plans include those for the Old Royal Observatory which houses the telescope on the Prime Meridian Line (the actual point where World Time is set). For full details of all Greenwich projects see here.
