Situated on the River Thames, Greenwich attracts both tourists and locals and the jewel in the crown of this historic location is the Old Royal Naval College.
Historic Greenwich’s stunning architecture and dramatic views have acted as the backdrop for countless TV and Film productions, like The Crown, Poldark and, more recently, Bridgerton.

The Old Royal Naval College is a UNESCO world heritage site that has become a hub for filmmakers over the past few decades making it one of the most popular and versatile locations seen on screen. Used for both exterior and interior scenes, the Royal Naval College has been featured numerous times to represent old London but has also featured in other roles.
The tour which starts inside the Old Royal Naval College Visitor Centre will not only go into depth about its role as a film location but also its glorious history and links with royalty and the navy. The tour also includes free entry to the Painted Hall and The Chapel.
