The Old Royal Naval College, part of Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site, is reopening from Monday 13 July. This stunning London landmark will once again offer public access to its buildings and expansive grounds with visitor and staff safety measures in place. Groups are welcome to visit, but will be limited to a maximum of 25 people.
The Painted Hall, King William Undercroft and interpretation gallery are reopening for visitors with limited tickets each day and advanced booking recommended.
The Old Royal Naval College is also launching new smartphone tours for visitors.
The grounds, with sweeping views of London’s skyline and the River Thames, will be open daily from 7am – 7pm. The Painted Hall, King William Undercroft, Visitor Centre Shop and Ticket Desk will be open from 10am – 5pm. The Chapel will be open on reduced hours of 10am – 2pm and the Victorian Skittle Alley will remain closed until further notice.
Spaces must be booked in advance for tours and the Old Royal Naval College recommends that visitors bring their own headphones for the multimedia guides. Visitor-facing staff and volunteers will wear protective visors to ensure safety.
While the Painted Hall café will be closed for a little while longer there will be food and drinks available to enjoy al fresco in the grounds. The Painted Hall toilets are fully accessible and include baby changing facilities. Card and mobile device payments are accepted, but no cash payments will be allowed.
