Our Prime Meridian Slim Fit T-Shirt features our iconic 00º 00’ 00” Prime Meridian of the World design that has been printed on to a charcoal grey fitted T-shirt giving you a flattering silhouette. This is the perfect souvenir from the home of time.
The Prime Meridian at Greenwich has served as the reference line for Greenwich Mean Time since the late 19th century.
Before this, almost every town in the world kept its own local time. There were no national or international conventions which set how time should be measured, or when the day would begin and end, or what length an hour might be.
With the vast expansion of the railway and communications networks during the 1850s and 1860s, the worldwide need for an international time standard became imperative so Greenwich was chosen as the centre for world time.
This T-shirt is exclusive to Royal Museums Greenwich and is part of our Prime Meridian & GMT collection.
