About this activity

Step into the glamour of Eltham Palace, where dazzling Art Deco style meets medieval grandeur. Begin your visit in the striking circular entrance hall, blending bold 1930s design with sleek Swedish influences, before exploring the elegant panelled dining room with its geometric details. Marvel at Virginia Courtauld’s iconic golden bathroom, complete with an onyx bath set in a glittering mosaic niche watched over by the goddess Psyche. Descend into the wartime basement bunker and imagine life here during the Blitz. Then journey back 500 years to the magnificent Great Hall, with its soaring hammer-beam roof built for Edward IV. Once a favoured royal palace, Eltham is steeped in history dating back to the Domesday Book. Complete your visit with a stroll through 19 acres of beautiful historic gardens.

Eltham Palace and Gardens

Admission included

In 1936, eccentric millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld decided to build their magnificent art deco mansion right next to the medieval Great Hall of Eltham Palace - creating a masterpiece of modern interiors.

Explore enviable interiors like the amazing art deco dining room, site of many illustrious dinner parties; and Virginia Courtauld’s instagram worthy gold-plated bathroom

For a complete contrast with the 1930s rooms, step into the 1470s Great Hall – part of the medieval royal palace of Eltham, where Henry VIII spent his childhood.

Don’t miss the palace’s beautiful gardens, with their mix of medieval remains and Arts and Crafts influences. There’s a visitor centre with a shop and a pretty café in the glasshouse, as well as a play area for children.
