The Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London.

Looking south across Greenwich Park, London, from the roof of the East Wing of the Royal Hospital School showing the Royal Observatory at the top of the hill. There are no railings around the top of the 28" Telescope Dome. This is a posed photograph because there are only a few people in the park, they are spaced out at equal distances and are all looking towards the photographer. The photograph was taken in the late evening.
