Eltham Palace - Thurs 21st June 2018

In 1933, Stephen and Virginia Courtnauld, members of the wealthy textile dynasty, acquired the lease of the old palace at Eltham and added a sumptuous mansion, a masterpiece of art deco design that contained a stunning entrance hall, a marvellous paneled dining room and several luxurious bathrooms, amongst other rooms.

During the war, the palace fell into disrepair but, in 1995, English Heritage assumed management of the building and carried out a 4-year major repair and restoration programme to bring the palace back to its art deco glory.

The palace is surrounded by acres of magnificent gardens to wander in and has an excellent cafe from which a wide range of refreshments can be obtained.

The pickup time will be 9.15am at The Woodlawns Centre, 16 Leigham Court Road, SW16 2PJ and the return journey will leave Eltham Palace at around 2.30pm. The ticket price for this event will be £17 which includes return transport. Please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, as there is a limited number of places for this outing.
