The Observatory is closed temporarily but usually open Friday Saturday from September to April. It's situated near Whitestone pins Hampstead and is in a dome like structure with a Cook refractor telescope. I went here for years and saw some stunning views of Saturn Moon Jupiter. Hope it reopens soon.

Fabulous gem of a find in the city. Opening times are entirely dependant on weather, but worth a stop, if you can catch it while open.
