We all think of Greenwich in east London as being home to the Prime Meridian — longitude line 0°, separating east from west. It was only in 1884 that the longitude line running through the observatory at Greenwich was internationally recognised as the Prime, however. This line in Richmond, west London, is just one of the others.

These grey stones follow the old line.

I think the French put up much resistance to the idea of Greenwich.
