Queen's House

Queen's House is a former royal residence built between 1616 and 1635 in Greenwich. It is the centre of Greenwich for hundreds of years, the beautiful Queen's House has also been at the heart of royal life. The Queen’s House is famous today for its extraordinary art collection including works by Great Masters such as Gainsborough, Reynolds, Turner and Hogarth. And don't forget to see the iconic Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I, climb the Tulip Stairs (many saw ghosts here), etc.

A great starting point for anyone spending the day in the Greenwich area. Enjoy the queen's house but before going in remember to donate (these marvelous museums are keep in perfe t shape thanks to donations), next scan the qr code so you'll have the audio tour. It will enhance the experience of every room, marvel yourself with the sights and the data from the guides, perfevt match. Take your time and enjoy, recommend to always look up, some of the best decorations and mural are on the ceilings, so look up. Wonderful place, mesmerizing environment and even better locaticon, you can spend plenty of time just enjoying the gardens with a cup of tea, coffee or just gazing at the horizon.

Next you should definitely go to National Maritime museum, right next to Queen's house and if you are still hungry for more.. go to the 02 and get a ticket for the Upatthe02. Best way to end the day

Lovely gallery at the Queen's House in Greenwich. I always feel so humbled compared to great artists in history. Many portraits of the royals and friends of the Court, but also a lot of naval inspired motives. I quite liked the modern inspired selection the gallery also offered with an interesting point of view in the current society we live in.

For free, an unexpected jewel in Greenwich.
Not big, so if you have an hour to spare go visit.
With many thanks to the kind staff who gave me plenty of background info.
Being Dutch, plenty to see that connects our two countries 🙂

The entry for Queens House is completely free. We need atleast 30-40 min to see the House. Their are many paintings, Armoury, jewellery... Particularly the paintings are just wow.. it looks so real... The closet station is Greenwich station. It's about 5-10 min walk from Station. Close to Queens House you have other attractions like Marine Museum, Observatory, Greenwich Park.... All these are must visit place.

Very cute little house, must-visit if you love Baroque, and rococos style I have to say. The museum is full of painting from the British marine history with is nice.

Must visit museum - not busy on a Saturday afternoon. We made a reservation for four but in the end they didn’t check our tickets at the entrance. They basically let visitors in.

Very interesting collection of paintings. As well as the well known tulip stairs at the very end of the trip.

An amazing place that was absolutely packed when we visited. Given that it's free I'm sure that was also the appeal. Filled with a vast collection of paintings and naval history, and for someone not especially interested in seamen it was still a joy to experience.

We booked tickets ahead but people seemed to be entering on the day itself without a reservation, but given that they are free tickets it's no harm in booking ahead!
