Commissioned by King Charles II in 1675 from architect Christopher Wren, the Royal Observatory enabled astronomer John Flamsteed to observe the heavens. The surrounding royal park was partly designed by Le Nôtre. Inside the Observatory is the Greenwich meridian, the outline of which can be seen on the floor.
