Eltham Palace And Gardens

Explore 19 acres of award-winning gardens and an art deco mansion at Eltham Palace.

Once a medieval palace and Tudor residence, it was transformed in the 1930s by eccentric millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld. Experience their extravagant lifestyle, try period costumes, and admire the medieval great hall.

The gardens blend medieval and modern elements. Admire herbaceous borders, formal rose gardens, and the Rock Garden with pools cascading to the moat. Enjoy the playground inspired by the Courtaulds' love for travel. Young explorers can find the Courtaulds' pet lemur on the animal explorer trail.

Discover the outdoor play area inspired by their travels, and enjoy multimedia guides about 1930s technology and medieval feasts. Choose from adult or family tours, including BSL and audio-described versions.
