Peak season vs low season
Peak season: May - September, Low season: October - April
During the peak season (May to September), Royal Observatory Greenwich has the highest amount of visitors. The weather is generally pleasant, but due to this, there are larger crowds and longer queues. Accommodation and travel expenses may also be higher during this period.
During the low season (October to April), however, you can have a quieter and more relaxed visit. Due to the colder weather, the museum sees fewer crowds. Accommodation and travel prices are typically lower during this time as well.
Weekday vs weekend
Weekdays are generally less crowded at Royal Observatory Greenwich, which will allow you to enjoy a more peaceful experience with fewer wait times. Visit right after the attraction opens, at 10am or in the late afternoon, around 3pmso as to avoid the peak visitor times.
The attraction tends to be at its busiest on weekends, especially during peak tourist seasons. If you're planning to visit on a weekend, beat the crowds by arriving early in the morning.
