Full description
The Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College is the UK’s own Sistine Chapel.
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren it is an epic 18th-century masterpiece reopened in 2019 following an £8.5-million makeover. Painted Hall is in the heart of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage site only a 20 minutes boat ride from Central London.
