Eltham Palace

Always a pleasure. Enjoyed some new additions to displays and short film intro. Fascinating insight into the history and high life. Beautiful gardens. Good food though quite limited menu in cafe

This home is a lovely visit for a retro revival, the family that bought it brought it back to life with all the “modern” elements of the time and it is such a beautiful revival of the time. Small but beautifully redone! The tea room on site has great scones and tea, with small wood play area for kids. Great garden in spring and summer with plays and activities at peak times like Halloween. 🎃 Note- Do advise you get the English heritage membership if you can this gives you access to several sites and free parking at the sites over the year it saves a lot more than a one time entry

Great experience visiting Eltham Palace this weekend. Highly recommend visiting, especially if you enjoy Art Deco architecture. It really is stunning. Volunteers at the palace are engaged and passionate, and it is fascinating to learn about the history of the building and the characters who inhabited it.

Eltham Palace is one of the most beautiful places where my daughter grew up. We often visited in good weather, regardless of the season, to stroll through the lovely park, enjoy lunch, explore the museum, and let the children have fun on the playground. 😍👌🤩🥰

Fantastic gardens and beautiful architecture amd decoration in the palace. The mix of 1920/30s style alongside the Great Hall is breathtaking. The gardens in autumn were peaceful and lovely colours, and the views around the moat and bridge are very picturesque. Overall quiet and not as busy as it can be in the summer. Buy tickets online in advance for discount. The volunteers were super helpful and knowledgeable. Decent cafe and some nice items on offer in the gift shop.

It's definitely worth a visit! You won't regret it. Eltham Palace, or should I say luxury villa, is packed with amazing technological solutions that were available to the bourgeoisie of that era. The beautiful surrounding gardens create a truly unique atmosphere. You'll be amazed by the historical significance and the luxurious features of this magnificent place. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!

If you're interested in English history, or 1930s fashion & design then Eltham Palace in South London is great. A English Herritage site, booking tickets online in advance saves you money, but if course English Heritage members get in for free. Parking is available at £3, but limited (free for EH members). There is an excellent free audio guide focused on the house during the 1930s/40s, but it does not ignore the Royal Palace background. We were there around 2 hours, before having a hot drink in the cafe. Chose not to explore the grounds as it was freezing in early January, we did however sign up fir EH membership, got our entry fee refunded so we can come again & explore the grounds in warmer weather.

A cold February afternoon is a great visiting time. A few visitors but we felt that we could enjoy Eltham’s luxurious art deco vibe built around the frame of the old palace. Incredible use of woods and veneers and recessed lighting. We enjoyed the bedrooms and bathrooms with bespoke features that in the 30’s must have been sumptuous and radical. Surrounding gardens beautifully kept. Finished trip with sale price goodies from the well stocked shop.
