The Old Royal Naval College is at the heart of this spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site in London and winner of Large Visitor Attraction of the Year at the VisitEngland Awards in 2020.
The Old Royal Naval College tickets include award winning tours of this magnificent 17-acre riverside estate, where you hear the fascinating 600-year story of this site, including being the birthplace of Henry VIII. These leave every hour from 11am – 3pm from the Visitor Centre. Tours include the beautiful Chapel of St Peter and St Paul which is one of Britain’s finest eighteenth-century interiors. As you walk along the underground tunnel which connects the Chapel to the Painted Hall – you have the chance to try your hand at one of the few remaining Victorian Skittle Alleys in existence. This used to keep the Naval Officers entertained and is usually open to the public from 12-3pm. Prepare to have your breath taken away as you enter the Painted Hall, which took 19 years to Paint, known as the UK’s Sistine Chapel – included is a free audio guide (in 7 languages) or join a guided tour every 30 mins.
The estate has become one of the most popular filming locations in the world. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the stunning buildings, alongside the Painted Hall and exquisite Chapel have starred in hundreds of productions, including The Crown, Les Miserables, Thor: The Dark World, Cruella, Bridgerton and many more – book a film tour to find out what goes on behind the scenes of these films and some trade secrets as to how it is done. These need to be booked separately due to limited capacity.
