Hey there! Sorry for my late response. The last weeks have been extremely busy and my upcomming trip to the UK didn't exactly help. Thanks to everyone I have now a decent list of things to do. If anyone lives in the general London area and would like to have a beer/tea/hot chocolate together,

Re: [time-nuts] Time-nut going England!

Do not neglect a visit to the Clockworks museum. Examples of the most accurate pendulum clocks ever put into production e.g., (LeRoy, Riefler, Shortt-Synchronome and Fedchenko) are among the collection there. Free — and the staff are very friendly and extremely

Hi: A very worthwhile, and often overlooked, museum is located at The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers (1 Throgmorton Avenue, London EC2N 2BY, Telephone: 020 7998 8120). It is not very large, but has some unusual objects including many of the tools that were used in making clocks.

Re: [time-nuts] Time-nut going England!

Greenwich as recommended by others is a must, the science museum is also a good way to spend a day. Cheap and London don't necessarily go hand in hand unpess you go d hostel style accommodation or perhaps even youth hostels? I can recommend the New Linden hotel near Notting hill gate from recent

Re: [time-nuts] Time-nut going England!

Yes -- Greenwich is a must. Also read up on why the GPS 0.0 E line is not on the mark that is etched in the ground. Then walk over to the 0 point and admire your GPS receiver. The Harrison clocks are a wonder to behold. Philip On 26/04/2017 11:46, Graham / KE9H wrote: If you have

Re: [time-nuts] Time-nut going England!

Attila, Have you thought of visiting the Greenwich observatory just south of London? I don't know if they have tours or when they might be open, but it is the birthplace of GMT. I would join you if I could but I am in Canada. Have a good visit there! ... MartinVE3OAT On Wed, 26 Apr

Re: [time-nuts] Time-nut going England!

If you have never seen them, you must make a pilgrimage to see the Harrison Clocks at the Greenwich Observatory. If you have not read the book, you must read the book "Longitude" before seeing the clocks. --- Graham On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 8:05 AM, Attila Kinali wrote: > Hi

Hi I'll be in the UK for three weeks and will have a "free" week between 13th and 20th of May. I will most probably be around the London area and maybe spend a day or two in Southampton. If someone wants to meet for a beer or cup of hot chocolate, or knows of time-nutty things to do, please let
