Hi there,

I would like to go to Greenwich, the exact line where the Lat is 0 degrees.
where can i find that?
which is the nearest tube station to it?
thansk!

For the Royal Observatory, Greenwich go to http://www.rog.nmm.ac.uk/
and click on "Visitor essentials" and then read "Getting here" which
will give you many many options!

Also, see this map:

I found that Maze Hill station worked quite well for me - trains there
run out of Charring Cross or Blackfriars.

Go out of the station, up the to road and cross it into the park. Then
just walk up the hill :)

You will be closer to 0 degrees latitude in Singapore than Greenwich.

To get to 0 degrees longitude, a train from Charing Cross, Waterloo
East or London Bridge to Maze Hill or Greenwich is probably easier
than using the Underground.

Nearest tube station is probably London Bridge

Huh? New Cross and North Greenwich are both much closer.

if i'm going to The Royal Observatory from Waterloo,
i'll have to take the Jubilee Line till Canary Wharf
then transfer to DLR and carry on towards Cutty Sark where i'll alight?

Everyone else has suggested you view the Meridian at the old observatory
in Greenwich - and that is certainly the classic place.

But there are numerous other places in Greenwich where it is marked:

In particular, Meridian Point next to the Millenium Dome is only a short
walk away from North Greenwich on the Jubilee line. Whether you find
this as romantic a place as the old observatory, a couple of miles away,
is another matter - but it is at least somewhere where you can easily
have a foot in both hemispheres.

That's right! And at Cutty Sark, I think you'll find it's signposted.
Although you might want to download a map of the area from
http://www.multimap.com or http://www.mapquest.co.uk, so that you can
print it out and take it with you if you don't have a map-book.

It'd be easier to walk over the bridge to Waterloo East and if there's
a train to Maze Hill from there, get on it, otherwise change at London
Bridge.

Blackfriars? Do you mean Cannon Street?

As well as the DLR Cutty Sark, you can also go via Jubilee Line to North
Greenwich station (the station built for the Dome) and then get a bus from
there to Greenwich itself - a nice ride, which will allow you to see a bit
of the surrounding area on the way. North Greenwich is too far from
Greenwich itself to walk, but the 486 or 188 bus service will get you the
rest of the way.

I.e. from North Greenwich to Greenwich Park - Shooters Hill does not
come into it.
