Which city is closest to prime meridian?

Answer 1

Greenwich, Greater London, which is near The City of London, England. Hence the term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Note: See the linked information below. The City of London is actually a small area of about one square mile in the centre of what is officially known as Greater London. The prime meridian passes through Greater London about six miles to the south east of The City of London.

Answer 2

London, UK, is the site of Greenwich Observatory, though air pollution has long driven astronomic observations to a different site. However, a laser beam is shone from the old building to mark the Prime meridian.

The old observatory was built on the existing foundations of a ruined building, so the appropriate wall of the observatory has never been North - South.

Answer 3

Well, if you want the state with the smallest value of longitude, it's Maine, with the city

of Eastport at about [66° 59' 10"] west longitude.

If on the other hand you want the state that's actually "CLOSEST" to the Prime Meridian, then it's Alaska. Barrow is only about 1,290 miles from the North Pole, which is a point on ALL meridians of longitude.
