Greetings from Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian!

We tubed over to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich for a brief visit.  We were off to find the 0 degree longitude line! We paid our admission and during our whirlwind tour of the museum picked up a few interesting facts.
In the courtyard was a queue for photo ops on the Prime Meridian. We started to wait in line but then realized we could get just as good a photo opposite the traditional photo spot.  But we really had a good chuckle upon exiting!  There in the back of the museum was a cobblestone line not at all centered with the door from whence it came but in alignment with that popular photo spot inside the museum premises!
