Unmissable inside

Welcome to the Old Royal Naval College, an extraordinary cultural destination in the heart of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Two people stand at the top of a grand staircase inside the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London. The hall is adorned with large columns and intricate gold detailing. The ceiling above them features a magnificent and elaborate mural filled with vibrant scenes and figures. One person is taking a photo of the mural while the other admires the artwork. The room is illuminated with warm lighting, highlighting the ornate decorations and grandeur of the space.
