 This reminds me of the prime meridian that's laid out on the ground at the Greenwich Royal Observatory for tourists to stand on. Unfortunately, it uses an old datum and the actual prime meridian under WGS84 is about 100 metres to the East. Fortunately, the British Isles are moving slowly North East so the two meridians will coincide at some point. [[User:Jeremyp|Jeremyp]] ([[User talk:Jeremyp|talk]]) 09:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
