About this experience

Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of a stunning riverside estate by participating in an award-winning tour of the Old Royal Naval College, an experience that will allow you to fully understand its extraordinary historical legacy. The tour begins in the spectacular 17th century Painted Hall, a masterpiece that took 19 years to complete and is often compared to the Sistine Chapel in the UK. With the help of an audio guide, you will discover the details and stories behind each of its paintings. Afterwards, enter the Chapel, where you will be surrounded by one of Britain's most outstanding 18th century interiors. Its refined craftsmanship and meticulous design evoke the splendor of bygone eras. Explore the hidden remains of the former Greenwich Palace, discovered in 2016, the very place where Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were born. Walking through these historic spaces allows you to connect with the past in a unique way. To add a Victorian touch, try one of the last remaining Victorian bowling alleys and enjoy this traditional pastime. As you tour the estate, admire the architecture of Sir Christopher Wren, whose designs have made the venue one of the most in-demand film sets, appearing in productions such as The Crown, Les Miserables, Thor: The Dark World, Cruella and Bridgerton. There are also special tours focused on its cinematic history.
