This review is on Painted Hall, which is a part of the college and it requires paid admission. While the paintings are astonishing and beautiful, the concurrent displays of 8 HUGE light columns and modern sculptures are literally blocking the paintings. And the changing lightings from the columns made it very hard see the original colors of the paintings. I may appreciate Peter Walker's arts in ...

A gem that shouldnt be missed. Possibly one of the most artistic and beautiful buildings in London. The interior of the rooms are amazing. Its got a recreation of early bowling. There are guides of the grounds for people who pay for a ticket. Theres a very decently sized museum. Lots of other cool things to see nearby in Greenwich Well connected to public transport

An historical building in the midst of London. It was once a place where naval veterans were cared for. It now has exquisite art masterpieces upon is walls. Definitely a place you'd want to visit if you're into colonial, victorian or war history. Or simply if you have an appreciation for art.

I didn't go inside the beautiful buildings, as we only walked through the park-like grounds. Like many buildings in London, they are simply stunning. It's really worth spending some time here to enjoy the beauty of London away from the hustle and bustle. A dream come true for (amateur) photographers.
