Once a favoured medieval palace and then a Tudor royal residence, Eltham Palace was transformed into a striking Art Deco mansion by eccentric millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld creating a masterpiece of modern interiors.
Enjoy a self-guided tour of the house and explore enviable interiors like the amazing art deco dining room, and for a complete contrast the 1470s Great Hall, part of the medieval royal palace where Henry VIII spent his childhood. Time to visit 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.
