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!

The nearest tube would be the DLR station Cutty Sark. From there, it is
a short, steep walk up the hill to the Observatory, where the 0 degree
line is marked on the ground.

To get to Cutty Sark from Central London, go to Bank Station and get on
any DLR train that is going to Lewisham. It takes about 20 minutes.

One of the things I like best in my new job is that I get to go "to the
other side of the world" every day!

During a brief period of working in Cambridge some years ago I had the
same privilege, going from the Eastern to Western hemispheres every
morning!

You can't have worked in Cambridge then! The meridian passes some miles
West of Cambridge.

If he lived west of the meridian and worked nights, then his journey
home from Cambridge would cross it in the morning.

Yes, but with a daytime job that would be from Western to Eastern
Hemisphere every morning ...
