Flamsteed House in Greenwich Park, London, late 17th century. Flamsteed House was designed by Christopher Wren on the orders of Charles II as a royal observatory. At this time the problem of finding longitude at sea was unsolved and the observatory was built in the expectation that it would be possible to produce tables to enable mariners to plot their position.
