Eltham

Eltham is in the south of the royal borough. It' packed with beautiful parks and gardens, Tudor and Art Deco architecture and is where children’s author E. Nesbit lived.

Eltham is just a couple of miles from Greenwich town centre and home to a thriving local community, Tudor and Art Deco architecture, where Bob Hope and Boy George were born and where one of the greatest children’s writers of the last century lived - E. Nesbit.

Henry VIII loved Eltham. He spent his childhood years at Eltham Palace and Gardens, which remained one of his favourite palaces throughout his life. In fact, Henry was a real local boy – he was born in the Tudor palace of Placentia, in Greenwich, which used to be on the riverside site where the Old Royal Naval College now stands.

Parts of the original Tudor palace still remain at Eltham Palace – the Great Hall that Henry knew is still there and is now attached to the stunning Art Deco House that eccentric millionaires, Stephen and Virginia Courtauld built in the 1930s. This striking mansion is set within 19 acres of award-winning gardens, full of herbacious borders, a rock garden, moat and even London's oldest working bridge!

Well Hall Pleasaunce is where E. Nesbit, author of The Railway Children had a house. Visit for the woodland glen, the ornamental garden and the last remaining Tudor Barn in London, now a restaurant and bar.

Severndroog Castle is a Gothic tower situated on Shooter’s Hill, one of the highest points in London, and surrounded by stunning ancient woodland. Climb to the top of this romantic folly for gorgeous views over seven different counties.

Eltham Lodge is regarded as one of England’s finest houses and maintains many of its original 17th century features. It is home to Royal Blackheath Golf Club, considered one of the oldest in the world.
