This is reminds me of the Irish joke, when asked for the
best way to x, the Irishman replied, If i were you i would
not start from here.
No, LUL stations are not convenient for Greenwich. The
best place to "view" the 0 latitude is the Royal Observatory
in Greenwich Park. Take a train from London Bridge for
Greenwich or Blackheath (a local map may be useful) or DLR
(connects with LUL at various places) to Greenwich/Cutty
Sark station (this is the nearest station to the Park)

Hi Lawrence!

The tube "proper" (London Underground) does not serve Greenwich (the
Jubilee Line goes to North Greenwich, which is some way off). The nearest
stations to Flamsteed House in Greenwich Park where the 0° line is marked
out are Maze Hill (on the South East Trains line from Charing Cross to
Dartford via Greenwich) and Cutty Sark (on the Docklands Light Railway
line from Bank to Lewisham). They are both covered by a one-day Travelcard
which includes Zones 1 & 2.

What you want is the Old Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park. When you're
there, you can't miss it - it's at the top of the hill!.

I'm not sure where the Jubilee Line North Greenwich station is situated,
but the Docklands (DLR) Cutty Sark station is quite close. Take your
camera, there are some lovely views from the hill.


The link below shows the area, or click on the short link below that.

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!

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.

so to say,
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?

Yes - or take the Waterloo & City Line to Bank and change there.

By the way, Flamsteed House *is* the old Observatory!

Have a good trip. The Maritime Museum is worth a visit, also the
"Longitude" exhibition if it is still there.

Your answer is to tell someone to buy a guide book?
