We have secured a Fords of Althorne 53 seater coach for this day visit again - very comfortable seating, smooth, good air-conditioning and toilet on board.
 

Travelling by coach, Eltham Palace, located in south-east London will be our first stop. Eltham was a royal palace in the medieval and Tudor period.  Henry VIII spent much of his childhood there.  It was acquired by Stephen and Virginia Courtauld in the early 1930s.  They transformed it into a magnificent art deco mansion, incorporating the Tudor Great Hall, built in 1470.  The Palace is surrounded by a moat, beautiful gardens and there is also a visitor centre and a café.

From Eltham, we will travel the short journey to historic Greenwich where there are varied options for lunch and where we will spend the afternoon.
Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with several excellent attractions to visit, including the National Maritime Museum, the Queen’s House and the Royal Observatory. Other attractions include the Cutty Sark, the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College and the Fan Museum.  You may of course, decide to browse the charming Greenwich market and its surrounding streets.

Please note that if you wish to visit the Queen's House at Greenwich, you will need to book your own 'free' ticket in advance on line at rmg.co.uk (Royal Museums Greenwich, Queen's House).
