Join Helen White, Senior Interpretation Manager from the Old Royal Naval College, who will be talking about their forthcoming exhibition, Chocolate House Greenwich.

Part of the Wren 300 programme marking the tercentenary of the death of Sir Christopher Wren. The exhibition focuses on Greenwich in the early 1700s, when it was a hub of cultural and scientific activity with Sir Christopher Wren’s Royal Hospital for Seamen at its heart. Just up the hill on the edge of Blackheath, THE CHOCOLATE HOUSE was a new meeting place for sophisticated society.
