Overview
Step into the glamour of Eltham Palace, where dazzling Art Deco style meets medieval grandeur. Begin your visit in the striking circular entrance hall, blending bold 1930s design with sleek Swedish influences, before exploring the elegant panelled dining room with its geometric details. Marvel at Virginia Courtauld’s iconic golden bathroom, complete with an onyx bath set in a glittering mosaic niche watched over by the goddess Psyche. Descend into the wartime basement bunker and imagine life here during the Blitz. Then journey back 500 years to the magnificent Great Hall, with its soaring hammer-beam roof built for Edward IV. Once a favoured royal palace, Eltham is steeped in history dating back to the Domesday Book. Complete your visit with a stroll through 19 acres of beautiful historic gardens.
