That would be East India.

How close is that? I know where I work is somewhere like 0'0"007 E, and
that is about 3/4 mile from East India station.

It's actually 0:00:29, apparently.

Pretty close (my mapping software has it within 100yds). The Meridian
is alleged to pass through Telehouse, which is close to the station (if a
little to the East).

I don't think I know Telehouse. But I reckon I can tell exactly where I
cross the Meridian when I go that way.... just about where my boss
dropped me off this evening, as he gave me a lift to the station.

Anybody know where the Jubilee line crosses the Meridian on its way to
Canning Town - it couldn't be right under the Thames, could it?

No, it would be just before arriving at North Greenwich when coming from
Canary Wharf, since the Prime Meridian runs up the west side of the
North Greenwich peninsula.

I wonder if there is any sort of marker in the tunnel? There is
certainly a meridian marker on the DLR, between East India and Canning
Town. Photo at:

Ah - now I know exactly where it is! I'll have to take the DLR between
those two stations one day next week (I don't normally bother - it's 15
minutes' walk from one station and 20 from the other, so not worth it)
so I can see the line. Thanks.

It's the big grey building just east of the travelodge.
