The Royal Observatory, Greenwich, houses a public camera obscura in a small summerhouse on the Observatory courtyard next to Flamsteed House.
John Flamsteed, the First Astronomer Royal, also had a camera obscura in the same building which he used to make safe observations of the sun.
There have been a number of camera obscuras at Greenwich, dating from the late 17th century till the mid-19th century. The current camera obscura was installed in 1994.
