This observatory houses three telescopes and a wealth of scientific heritage in London. At this year’s Doors Open London, you can explore what astronauts eat at the International Space Station and see tours of the beautifully restored observatory. If the skies are clear, the observatory will also demonstrate how the telescopes work while observing objects in the night sky.
