Stand where time begins, on the Greenwich Meridian Line

Event: Stand where time begins
Date: Every day

For those who have been promising themselves a relaxing weekend away in the capital for a while but have put it off for too long, the luxury London hotel the Egerton House has everything to make the break a sheer delight.

Guests are promised class and quality in every department and female travellers can look forward to some top-class designer clothes courtesy of the Best Dressed by Kate Starkey package.

The deal includes a custom-made shift dress designed from an extensive range of fabrics and styles, as well as a welcome glass of champagne on arrival and a full English breakfast to enjoy the following day.

There are a million things to do in the capital, from stage shows, to football matches to concerts and festivals.

However, one thing that people could do which is a little different to the norm is to visit the Greenwich Meridian Line, the place where time begins.

It is the imaginary line which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, travelling through the main telescope at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.

Greenwich was selected as the place where time and place are defined by the International Meridian Conference, in a bid to establish one meridian to replace the numerous one's which were in existence.

It may be an unconventional attraction, but it is evidence that there really is anything and everything to see and do in the magnificent city that is London.
