## What visitors say

[Paul Davies](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111399037310870980978/reviews) ★★★★★

Amazing historical series of buildings set on the banks of the Thames in Greenwich, just down the hill from the Observatory. Lots of open spaces to sit and admire the views. Lots of facilities - pubs, gift shop, gin distillery Experience and a lovely cafe, perfect for afternoon or high tea. The Painted Hall is magnificent and breathtaking. You can spend a lot of time in there with a guide going through the significance of the paintings. I loved the skittle alley downstairs too. Well worth a visit and plenty to do and see nearby. Easy access to the city, train and Thames clipper. If you have time visit the Cutty Sark too

Old Royal Naval College is an absolutely stunning historic site in Greenwich. Even just visiting the outside is already very impressive, with magnificent architecture, grand buildings, and beautifully designed open spaces. The area by the River Thames adds even more charm, making it a perfect place for a relaxing walk and taking photos. The whole atmosphere feels elegant and peaceful. A must-visit spot in Greenwich, even if you only explore the exterior.

Went for a.festival, Dom Dolla so was always going to be happy but the venue was excellent. Got VIP so was based in the cool hall with separate bar and nice toilets. As a venue I can't fault it, security were good, pricy as ever in the places but ok.

I love this place and keep returning with family members and friends for a slightly alternative experience to typical London tourist spots. Their free tours are pretty good (can be very dependent on the guide) but the venue itself is SO impressive, I love going there to stare at the ceiling and walls.
