Centre of technical excellence and a very large building packed with academics and interns
The wall of achievement is really interesting with my favourite being Alan Turing
We need centres of excellence like these to keep us at the forefront of global technology
I know where it is never been inside just for employers and employees
Allow a few hours here to enjoy all this place has to offer. Such talented people working here and inspiring the kids. Can't wait for the next open day
Very interesting , but a bit out of touch with practical (real life) engineering.
If you love books you will love here absolutely fantastic place
I grew up opposite this place and worked here for a while. It's like another little town.
Such an inspiring place. It's vast and so so interesting. They are at the forefront of research into STEM. Well worth a visit on their open days.
Imagine the discoveries and ground-breaking research done here, and still goes on today. Insightful visit.
Tours are open for members of the public and at a reasonable price. Parking is an issue however so be sure to book in advance.
Lots to see and explore, very high tech laboratories and the science staff were welcoming and happy to answer any questions about their research.
Lunch is provided and a substantial offering at that. Free hot chocolate/coffee machines are in every tea room to keep you refreshed on the tour.
Fascinating work, you even get a metrology themed mug to take away as a souvenir.
I want to research there and creat a new theory or anything...that is my hope...if you have need to any body about myself inform me...
Wonderful lab. Enjoyed my visit and would love visit again.
Celebrating the importance of the sciences in UK. Great place and easy to find your way around.
I haven't been inside, however, it's an impressive building. When the opportunity arises to visit on an open day I will update.
Fabulous to see a facility like this. Proper cutting edge stuff!
If you can, go to the open day, sadly only every two years!
Fantastic place for science. Check out the open days
Happy to be there for the open house 2018.Thank you NPL !
NPL HR called me for interview about IT Job which i have applied for, interview was very good at the end of interview they were very happy and showed me whole office and i met IT team too, but after that they never give me feedback. I have sent email to HR lady who called me for interview but no reply back I felt really disrespected myself and i have very bad feeling for them.
We have our sports day in their grounds every year. Stunning setting. I wish I worked here!
It's all unfinished work at the moment but it's going to be amazing
Always delighted to come here, professional people and it is amazing what rhey do.
What an awesome place. I could spend days learning from the 800+ super smart engineers that work here.
It's the primary standard for most measurements in the UK. Deal with them regularly with work, they are very professional.
Its a great place to work i worked there for 28 years
Voluntary attendance. They ran some tests, administered some procedures and turned me into freaking Captain America. Naturally I will call myself Colonel Britain, and instead of a shield - I will carry a Vibranium Tea Tray
The place where some inventions are tried for the first time.
This is one of the most important places in the UK.
Fantastic place to work. Visit the museum and check out the Friday lunchtime concerts of classical music
Amazing place. If you love science then this place is your heaven! Looking forward to work with all those scientists in the near future!
A great conference, very interesting and informative
Great experience here. Conference attended with very inspiring speakers. The staff were extremely helpful and made the experience exceptional. I had a great time. Perfect venue for conferences in the setting of real physics.
Hidden gem of scientific research in metrology in Teddington
Had such an interesting lecture on memory, attention and reaction as a guest on a Psychology Lecture at Leeds Uni. Loved to be learning real things
Great place to learn about anything to do with science
10* would be more appropriate for this incredible place! I learnt about them about 30 years ago, from a tiny magazine Anglia. Little had I known back then that I would live near by!
During the WW2 they created jumping bombs. They are the birthplace of the atomic clock and I can keep listing their achievements, but you'd learn much more from paying a visit.
For the science-thirsty minds: every 2 years NPL has Open Day, when you can come and browse through a few laboratories, meet with the scientists working there and ask your burning questions.
They also treat you to ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen; you can buy various funky, yet useful souvenirs and even get a cute atomic clock! I got one about 4 years ago, but dropped it yesterday and now - cant wait until I get a new one in May! And, of course, will visit more laboratories.
They re extremely racist and they gave me the worst customer experience when I arrived in the building, I have never ever seen anything like this, the company is a disgrace and should shut down immediately!!
Only been there for a small job. People are so friendly.
If you're looking for measurement standards, then this place is ideal.
World leader in instrument calibration and physical constants
I called this people and they don't know what they are doing. This organization like many other are put in front of Space travel undergoings to work in partner ships with other organizations and when on the National and international level. Space travel has been on the stand still for more then 30 years now. I wonder why .
Great place. Friendly staff who do the out reach. Open day was really interesting. Great to know what companies do that are on your door step
Visited on the open day - what an excellent showcase for the sciences engineering and technology but better than these the young people. The future is in capable hands if this is an example of those destined for leadership in whatever fields they choose.
First class institution, richly filled with wisdom, knowledge and excellence.
Making the world a better place, one measurement technique at a time...
