One of the earliest Prime Meridians was defined as passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England (hence its name as the Greenwich Meridian). The international reference meridian (IRM) which is used by GPS units as 0° latitude passes 5.31 arcseconds east of the Greenwich Meridian - about 100 meters - which is still well withing England.
