Here is a 2013 artwork created by artist duo Thomson & Craighead. The work, a standard UK road sign pointing northwards, is situated on a riverside path on the west side of the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London, where it forms part of The Line, a public art trail that very roughly follows the path of the Prime Meridian as it crosses the River Thames.

In 2014 it was one of nine works chosen from over 70 submissions for the inaugural year of The Line, The route opened in 2015. The five Greenwich elements of The Line also form part of an art trail across the Greenwich Peninsula.
