Visit a masterpiece

Planning and booking a group visit of 15 or more* to the Old Royal Naval College (ORNC) - whether with one of our ORNC guides or for your self-guided tour group - could not be easier.

All you need to do is to book in with us before you visit the ORNC. The ORNC is Sir Christopher Wren’s twin domed masterpiece on the River Thames. Only 20 minutes from central London by boat, our site can meet all your group’s needs including:

  • A 90 minute tour of the architectural masterpiece with one of our experienced Yeomen guides.
  • Exclusive, behind the scenes visits to the Victorian Skittle Alley and Jacobean Undercroft as well as the beautiful Painted Hall and Chapel.
  • Tailored tours to fit themes such as royal, Nelson and the Navy, architecture, filming at the ORNC or our celebrated ghost tour. Language tours in French, Italian, Spanish or German.
  • Value for money packages. Hot lunches, cream teas and refreshments for up to 110 people in the elegant King William Undercroft under the Painted Hall – one the largest dining rooms in the World Heritage Site. .
  • If you take up one of tour/lunch packages you receive free coach parking at the ORNC – the only free coach parking available at the heart of Maritime Greenwich.
