Having visited the Equator, it was absolutely necessary that we also visit the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England. :-)
We noticed that many people seemed to go there without actually paying to enter the Royal Observatory, so they didn't get to 'stand astride' the line. Granted, there are signs that specifically say 'not to queue' on the line, yet there they were all lined up for a picture at one end of the grounds. I had to wonder if they realised that they had probably crossed the Meridian on their way to the Observatory. LOL.

Definitely worth the short 5-minute walk past the Harrison Hot Springs Resort to see the source of the hot springs and imagine what it was like when it was first discovered and developed. The views back towards the Resort are magnificent as is the flora along the trail.
Beautiful building in the heart of London. We stopped into the Canada Gallery, which is part of Canada House to see the Stephen Appleby-Barr: Échelle, New Paintings and Sculptures exhibit.
