Astro-history buffs: the usually-closed King's Observatory in London will be open from 9 Jun-17 Jul. Located along the Thames in Richmond, it was commissioned in 1769 for King George III and has the oldest telescope cupola in the world. 🔭 You must book in advance: www.visit.kingsobservatory.co.uk

I'd suggest the DarkSky Communities of Moffat and Presteigne, and towns in DarkSky Reserves in North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales and Exmoor are a better choice altogether.
