About

The Peter Harrison Planetarium at the Royal Observatory is London’s only planetarium. Think of it as a tour bus of the universe taking you on amazing journeys to explore and experience the wonders of the night sky.

Combining real images from spacecraft and telescopes with advanced CGI, the Planetarium can fly you into the heart of the Sun, transport you to distant galaxies, show you the birth of a star or land you on Mars!

There are different shows every day plus special shows for kids and some have live commentary from real-life Royal Observatory astronomers.

See What's On at the Peter Harrison Planetarium here.
