Join us on 1st October for a private guided tour of The Charterhouse.
The Charterhouse has been an almshouse since 1611, although it dates back to medieval times. It has been a medieval monastery, a grand Tudor mansion and also a school. This history can be explored through the buildings and collections. We will have a private group tour led by a Brother to learn more about this fascinating historical gem hidden in the heart of London.
