The Warsaw meridian (Polish: południk warszawski) is a meridian line running through Warsaw. The local mean time at the meridian was known as Warsaw mean time. It corresponds to an offset from UTC of +01:24.
In 1880, a small column marking the meridian was erected at the Theatre Square in Warsaw. It is marked as located at 52°14’40”N 21°00’42”E (in accordance with the coordinate system used at that time).
