The Experience

Uncover one of London's hidden gems nestled within the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage site. 

Explore the majestic 17-acre riverside estate and admire Sir Christopher Wren's striking architectural masterpieces. The expansive grounds and historic buildings narrate 600 years of rich history, featuring an array of monarchs and notable British figures such as Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson.

Experience the grandeur of 'Britain's Sistine Chapel' in Sir James Thornhill’s magnificent Baroque Painted Hall, alongside the splendid Chapel of St Peter and Paul. Wander through 40,000 square feet of stunning painted walls and ceilings, away from the usual tourist paths. Recognised by Empire Magazine as "the most popular filming location in the world," the Old Royal Naval College has provided the backdrop for numerous major films and TV series, including 'Pirates of the Caribbean', 'Les Misérables', 'The Crown', and 'Bridgerton'.
