Disappointing and Unwelcoming Experience I traveled from Kent for the 'Women of ROG' tour, having already booked two tickets. Upon arrival, I was told I couldn’t join without buying additional admission tickets—something that was not made clear during the booking process. Despite explaining I had come a long way and it was an honest misunderstanding, the staff was hostile and refused to help. To make matters worse, there were issues even processing the refund at the till. It’s a shame that a historical site would treat visitors with such lack of care. I won’t be returning.

🖼️ Wow, what a huge museum including a park! It is definitely a must see if you visit London. There is a lot of history to see both outside and inside. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take many photos, so I only uploaded these here. the area is really, really big. 📣 If you liked my Google Maps reviews, I would be happy about a like here. You can also follow me by clicking on my profile picture above and then on the follow button under my username! Thank you :)

Went to the royal observatory. It was a great day out with lovely views. It was quite a steep walk up, and we went to the wrong place at first. Would love to come back and explore more of the area
