This image features the iconic buildings of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London. The architectural style is classical, characterised by the symmetry of the two main domed buildings flanking a central pathway. These domes have clocks and weather vanes on top. The structures are made of light-coloured stone and have tall, narrow windows and columned porticoes. The buildings are situated along the River Thames, with the river visible in the foreground. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting a bright and sunny day. The surrounding area is lush with greenery.

SUPPORT THE OLD ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE

Public support is vital. While the Old Royal Naval College remains open, beautiful and thriving, maintaining it is no easy task.

Please consider making a one-off or regular donation to conserve the stories, buildings, collections that make this place so special.
