Hampstead Scientific Society

Hampstead Observatory, operated by the Hampstead Scientific Society, is a unique venue in London dedicated to public astronomy. As one of the few observatories in the city offering public viewing opportunities, it serves as an exceptional gateway to the night sky. The observatory provides stunning views of the Moon, planets, and other celestial objects, primarily on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the autumn and winter months. The Hampstead Scientific Society open their observatory at short notice when the weather permits, with tickets made available through Eventbrite. This initiative represents a cornerstone of the Society's efforts to promote science to the community.
