I was driving around the area and had no idea such a beautiful and fascinating place was here. Discovering UCL Observatory was a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere, the history and the opportunity to learn about astronomy made the visit really special. I think more people should know about this hidden gem.

Amazing evening hearing about and looking through the various telescopes, with lots of interesting background information supplied by academics and students acting as our guides.

Fantastic free tour offered by present UCL Masters/PhD students. After providing a short history of the site, we had a tour of the three main telescopes on site. Particularly respected the initiative of the guides in recognising the clearing night sky and setting up the telescopes at short notice to allow us to see the planets visible on the night of visiting (Jupiter and Uranus). Highly recommend.
