The story of Greenwich starts here with 600 years of history.
Visit this magnificent 17-acre riverside estate in the heart of the Greenwich Maritime UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tickets include access to the breath-taking Painted Hall, which took 19 years to Paint, known and the UK’s Sistine Chapel.
The expert-led, award-winning site tour is included in your visit and departs from the Visitor Centre hourly throughout the day. This includes the Visitor Centre, the grounds and the stunning Chapel of St Peter and St Paul. The tour tells the story of the estate’s 600 years of history: from a manor house in 1420’s, rebuilt as Greenwich Palace for Henry VII and the birthplace of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I; to the commissioning of Sir Christopher Wren in 1694 by Royal warrant for the design of a Royal Hospital for Seamen; then in 1873 becoming the Royal Naval College.
Take time to try your hand at one of the oldest Victorian Skittle Alleys in existence (usually open from 12-3) which was built to entertain the Seamen.
