Explore the 17-acre riverside estate in the Greenwich Maritime UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your ticket includes access to the fascinating Painted Hall, often called the UK's own Sistine Chapel, which took 19 years to complete.

This estate is rich in history, including the birthplace of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. Join the tour, departing hourly from the Visitor Centre, to explore the grounds and the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul.

After the tour, relax in the Undercroft with finger sandwiches, homemade scones with clotted cream and jam, cakes, and sweet treats. Drink a variety of teas or milkshakes for the kids.
