That kind-of depends on what you call 'near', doesn't it.
The point on the east coast of Iceland that's nearest the Prime Meridian is at
about 13.5° west longitude, roughly 390 miles from the nearest point on the
meridian itself.
For comparison . . .
-- The point in the USA nearest the Prime Meridian (Barrow, Alaska) is about 1,290 miles from it.
-- The point in South America nearest the Prime Meridian is about 2,350 miles from it.
