You are here: > After Hours: Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Charlton House

In this tour, explore the corners of the Charlton House rarely seen by the public

About

From the Jacobean Lady of the House to the Victorian housekeeper to today’s estates manager, the keeper of the keys’s access to Charlton House has always been unmatched.

For an hour, you’ll have their right-of-passage, led by an expert guide as you explore the corners of the House rarely seen by the public. An attic that once housed female servants and a summer house cellar that has been both a kitchen and a bomb shelter are just the beginning.

Discover the lesser known half of 400 years of history, through the eyes of those who have known it best.
