The Museum is also unique in the architectural importance of
its main buildings, the Queen’s House in particular being the
keystone of the historic park-and-palace landscape of 'Maritime
Greenwich’, which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
in 1997. Flamsteed House (1675-76), the original part of the
Observatory, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and was the
first purpose-built scientific research facility in Britain.

Admission to the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory

Please note the Planetarium shows are not suitable for children

The Regatta Café at the National
Maritime Museum offers an excellent range of hot and cold meals,
sandwiches and a selection of hot and cold beverages.
You can enter the Regatta Café either through the Museum or
directly from the Museum's grounds overlooking Royal Greenwich
Park. An attractive al-fresco seating area and adjacent
children's play area make this a perfect location to sit and
enjoy lunch or afternoon tea.
