Some old buildings in this photo.

The main building with the 2 domes is the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. It is lit up here for a light show for Chinese New Year.

At first it was a Royal Hospital for Seamen (1694–1869)
Then the Royal Naval College (1873-1997)
Now some parts open to public such as painted hall, and some used by Greenwich university.

The Purple building in the centre is the Queens house. Building started in 1616, and completed on 1636.

The building lit up in white to the top right of the Queens house is part of the Royal Observatory. The building is called Flamsteed House built between 1675 - 1676.

If you look closely just above the Queens house, you can also see the laser beam that comes out of the Observatory to mark the Prime meridian line.
