What you'll do
The jewel in the crown of a visit to the Royal Borough of Greenwich is the magnificent Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College, which is one of Europe’s most impressive interiors.
This iconic landmark is steeped in 600 years of history and was the birthplace of Henry VIII. In addition to the fascinating history behind the site, it is Britain’s no.1 Heritage film location, with the opportunity to step behind-the-scenes to discover how this stunning site has featured in everything from Bridgerton to Bond.
Departing hourly from the Visitor Centre, your pass also includes the award-winning site tour, which is optional. Covering the Visitor Centre, the grounds and the stunning Chapel of St Peter and St Paul, you can learn the estate’s fascinating 600 year history from its origins as a 1420s manor house, rebuilt as Greenwich Palace for Henry VII; to the commissioning of Sir Christopher Wren in 1694 for the design of a Royal Hospital for Seamen which it remained, up until 1873 when it became the Royal Naval College.
