The ceilings in the painted hall rival that of anywhere in the world.
Wonderful architecture . Don't miss the Chapel (free lunchtime concerts in term time), the Painted Hall , and views of the Thames and Greenwich Park .
In the King William Undercroft M pays her respects to the 8 victims of Silva's bombing of the MI6 Building in Skyfall (2012). The scene originally involved a funeral, but was cut from the final edit. Read more
The West gate of the Royal Naval College was used as a double for the gates of Buckingham Palace for a scene in National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) as Ben and Abigail look for the Resolute Desk.
Great architecture , but the painted wall is under renovation when I go and requires a fee for the guided tour to visit it.
Is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London. Built in 1712. Also known as Greenwich Hospital . It was used as filming location for Les Misérables.
Beautiful building. Definitely a place worth visiting.
Great scenery and a great view across the river to Canary Wharf.
Built in 1695 as a hospital for retired seamen – by 1750, 1500 lived here. One drunken pensioner, John Worley, lives on as ‘Winter’ in the Painted Hall’s exuberant ceiling. Find your maritime story. Read more
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the college was going to have an enormous dome in the middle, but Queen Mary II objected as it would block the view of the river from her house in Greenwich Park .
One of the best spectacular and wonderful college! And the mine ????????
Walk through the campus, it's free. It's very nice with some great buildings.
light and shade are so beautiful
A great place to sit & eat street food from Greenwich Market .
You may recognize the main square on this campus from Thor 2
Make sure you go to the Painted Hall
Walk along the site and breathe the old times
Amazing View . Chilling out ...
Film set ruining the view . I hear it's Sacha Baron Cohen's fault.
Come down to see scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean 4 being filmed until 10th October and wave at me in a ridiculous outfit!
Filming again by the looks of it!
