Resurfacing work is taking place outside the Royal Observatory from 11-17 November. The Observatory will still open every day as usual, but the path up the hill through Greenwich Park will be closed. Visitors should instead follow the main avenue through the Park or arrive via Blackheath Gate: see this map for more information.
