The Old Royal Naval College is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an architectural gem in Greenwich, London. Sir Christopher Wren's riverside masterpiece hosts some of the finest buildings and structures in the UK, including the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul, the Water Gates, and the Victorian Skittle Alley.

It is also the home of the Painted Hall – one of the finest interiors in Europe. Sir James Thornhill’s magnificent Painted Hall is Britain's answer to the Sistine Chapel. The epic Baroque artistic masterpiece, with 40,000 square feet of painted walls and ceilings, is an essential part of any visit to the Old Royal Naval College.

Calling The Painted Hall London's Sistine Chapel is really much too much. However, it was a pleasure to visit the place, especially while the model of Moon had been presented

Cutty Sark was the last and fastest tea clippers to be built in Britain, and you can learn all about its journeys across the oceans on board the ship itself. It is now permanently docked in London's leafy Greenwich area. Cutty Sark, an award-winning visitor attraction, is easy to reach via the DLR – it has its very own stop!
