Description
The magnificent Old Royal Naval College is one of London’s most famous landmarks and home of the breathtaking Painted Hall. Included is the choice to join an award winning guided tour which tells of the history and architecture of the site, from its early years as a Tudor Place where King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I were born; to its time as the Royal Hospital for Seamen, the masterpiece you see today built by Sir Christopher Wren. On your tour you will take in the grand perspective of Grand Square and the Water Gates, visit the King Charles Court, the Colonnades and find out about the incredible history of the Nelson Pediment. You will visit the Chapel of St Peter and St Paul - which is one of the finest Neoclassical Chapels in existence. The tour finishes by the entrance to the Painted Hall where another adventure begins. Explore the breath-taking 17th century Painted Hall known as ‘the UK’s Sistine Chapel’ with included audio guides in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, German, and Japanese. With over 40,000 square feet of painted walls depicting 200 figures including kings, queens and mythological creatures. If you visit between 12-3pm, why not test your skills at one of the oldest remaining Victorian Skittle Alleys in the UK, which was originally built to entertain the Naval pensioners in 1864.Includes
