Queen's House in Lai

I loved this place! And what i loved the most is they have a actress there in full costume and she shows and teaches you a few things about how it was and what you did in those days, and she stayed in roll the hole time she showed us how to kirtsy and bow how you did in those times, and a little dance it was great !

We were lucky enough to get married at the Queen’s House at the start of July this year. Due to COVID we had to postpone our first wedding date, but the team at RMG were very helpful in helping us find a new date. On the day itself and in the run up Sam and the team made sure everything ran flawlessly. I could not recommend the venue and the team more. It is just the most spectacular venue and somewhere that was perfect for our day as we live locally and also got engaged in the park! We could not recommend more. Thank you for everything. Xx

I am quite fascinated by this place. I have always explored a beautiful city of London but never have I spent time in South London, I must say that this part of the city is a bit peaceful compared to Central London. This amazing historical house along with Kenwood House is truly my favorite to go to now. Well definitely be back

Very interesting and informative. I love the mix between museum and portrait gallery. It was nice finding out more abiut each of the rooms and what the picture theme was for the room.

The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. This is a fabulous building to visit, there are magnificent paintings along with other art work. In the Queens chambers, I came across the bust created by Christy Symington of Olaudah Equiano who was credited with helping to pass the abolition of slavery bill. Theres much to see here, book online its free.

Lots of artifacts and historical pictures give you the opportunity to learn about the past.It was less than an hour for me. Since I did not follow British History. People who know about the history will take more time to correlateWhile you are in England you should try to visit.The entry is free however you need to book the tickets in advance to gain entry.

It was nice. The staff was very polite except for one lady who asked me to take my flash off when taking my selfie, while there was a dude with a professional camara with the huge flash taking pics of the art work who was a visitor like myself. The lady at the front was so knowledgeable and friendly . the men upstairs were kind also. There were many nice pieces there. The garden was well kept and relaxing. And it was FREE

Very pleasant for an afternoon out, the place is quite lovely and one of the guys working there was really sweet to us. Doesnt hurt that its free! There are some interesting facts written on the windows throughout, which you might want to keep an eye out for.

The museum and artefacts were absolutely astounding and the detail that someOf the art in the gallery was spectacular. The building was grand and vintage with a touch of modern inside of it.

Must visit museum - not busy on a Saturday afternoon. We made a reservation for four but in the end they didn’t check our tickets at the entrance. They basically let visitors in.Very interesting collection of paintings. As well as the well known tulip stairs at the very end of the trip.

Another wonderful museum in Greenwich. Beautifully appointed and full of history. We happened to notice the Queens House from the Maritime Museum next door and decided to visit. It was free and took us about an hour.

If you like art then you will most likely enjoy this little gem that is often overlooked in Greenwich. Free entry, and an easy hour or so enjoying the various artworks. There is also some nice decor and architecture to enjoy if you look in the right places whilst meandering through the property.

Beautiful house full of rich and interesting history. Great experience for all the family.

Very cute little house, must-visit if you love Baroque, and rococos style I have to say. The museum is full of painting from the British marine history with is nice.

What a lovely space to wander around and immerse yourself in times past. Not furnished but used as an art gallery covering local Greenwich and military themes.

Amazing place to visit with a beautiful history

Very interesting to see the old paintings and model ships.Some of the ceilings in the house were painted with pictures and were amazing.

Great house.The Tulip Stairs are worth the trip - for them alone.Great set of paintings.Elizabeth I looking regal.

Absolutely worth a visit if you come to Greenwich area. The ticket is free, and the staff there was super friendly. We spent half an hour there.

Lovely art gallery with amazing paintings going back to Henry Vlll.Entry is free.

Ship of Fools or "Narrenchiff" modernistic picture of a group of Black men at sea trying to reach land. It has echos of boat people the world over trying to safer countries for a better life. Artist Kehinde Wiley has executed well regarded portraits of Barak and Michelle Obama.

Decided to pay Queens House a visit with my husband. It is free to enter, but donations can be made as you exit. Toilets and gift shop are also located on the ground floor as you exit. There are stairs but a lift is also available. The various rooms had a number of portraits, pieces of jewellery amongst other items to see.One of the ladies working there called Lynda F (spelling may be wrongwas extremely informative and made my visit for a wonderful experience. Explaining pieces of art, the detail of the house amongst other things. Was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak too.Throughly enjoyed and would recommend.

Well worth the visit for the large collection of paintings and the architecture.

The entry for Queens House is completely free. We need atleast 30-40 min to see the House. Their are many paintings, Armoury, jewellery... Particularly the paintings are just wow.. it looks so real... The closet station is Greenwich station. Its about 5-10 min walk from Station. Close to Queens House you have other attractions like Marine Museum, Observatory, Greenwich Park.... All these are must visit place.

Stunning amazing.a place that should all visit.when you looking around for the entrance and its this small door .you should put something bigger so people find it easier.many people asked me today where is the entrance. Recommend this place its amazing.thank you

A remarkable art collection and building - a true hidden gem - owned by the nation with free admission thanks to the support of the british tax payer. Only 1 star given because this place is now hired out as a wedding venue (as I found out 10/06/22and the most significamt parts of the building are closed to visitors - who also have to endure loud music and noisy wedding guests. Who allowed this to happen in a national museum?

Grace in simplicity. The Queens House is a landmark in British architectural history in many ways. It is the first consciously classically designed building in the UK. It is Inigo Jones first major commission (and his breakthroughafter his Italian journey of 1613-1615. And it is the UKs first Palladian structure. Queen Mary II ordered Wren to split his Royal Naval College in two and the Queens House has (thankfullyretained its view of the Thames. Today the building houses part of the collection of the Martiem Museum. Though simple in design, the Queens House is absolutely graceful in appearance. Belongs on your must see list of Greenwich!

Great attraction, free to enter, not much you can do nowadays for free. Highly recommended.

For free, an unexpected jewel in Greenwich.Not big, so if you have an hour to spare go visit.With many thanks to the kind staff who gave me plenty of background info.Being Dutch, plenty to see that connects our two countries 🙂

This was a very interesting place to visit, the artwork was mesmerising with detailed descriptions of the history behind each piece. I would highly recommend visiting.

Its a very exciting place to go to with family and friends. There is a free entry to queens house but you need to pay £10 or £16 to see meridian line and telescope gallery. Rest there is a huge park which I suppose is connected via all the buses

Lovely gallery at the Queens House in Greenwich. I always feel so humbled compared to great artists in history. Many portraits of the royals and friends of the Court, but also a lot of naval inspired motives. I quite liked the modern inspired selection the gallery also offered with an interesting point of view in the current society we live in.

Its Situated next to Greenwich Park. Is a former royal residence used nowadays as a tourist attraction. Its a nice place to visit especially for painting lovers. The closest public transport stops are DLR Cutty Shark and Greenwich station or bus stops National Maritime Museum stop G and F. The River Thames is in close walking distance. Other attraction close by are the National Maritime Museum, Old Royal Naval College, or you can take a nice walk in Greenwich park see the Roy Observatory or just seat and look at the sunset over London.

A small two-storey building with minimal decor, built for Queen Anne of Denmark in 1614-1617 in Greenwich, designed by architect Inigo Jones. Today, in good weather, you can take good photos there.

Queens House is a former royal residence built between 1616 and 1635 in Greenwich. It is the centre of Greenwich for hundreds of years, the beautiful Queens House has also been at the heart of royal life. The Queen’s House is famous today for its extraordinary art collection including works by Great Masters such as Gainsborough, Reynolds, Turner and Hogarth. And dont forget to see the iconic Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I, climb the Tulip Stairs (many saw ghosts here), etc.

A great starting point for anyone spending the day in the Greenwich area. Enjoy the queens house but before going in remember to donate (these marvelous museums are keep in perfe t shape thanks to donations), next scan the qr code so youll have the audio tour. It will enhance the experience of every room, marvel yourself with the sights and the data from the guides, perfevt match. Take your time and enjoy, recommend to always look up, some of the best decorations and mural are on the ceilings, so look up. Wonderful place, mesmerizing environment and even better locaticon, you can spend plenty of time just enjoying the gardens with a cup of tea, coffee or just gazing at the horizon.Next you should definitely go to National Maritime museum, right next to Queens house and if you are still hungry for more.. go to the 02 and get a ticket for the Upatthe02. Best way to end the day

The free to enter Queens House is well worth a visit whilst in Greenwich. Not far from the Old Royal Naval College and other Greenwich attractions such as the Cutty Sark. Takes about an hour to go round all the rooms.

Impressive for a free museum.Super helpful staff by the name of Andrew helped with the locker, twice.

The architect Inigo Jones was commissioned to design the building in 1616 by King James I’s wife, Anne of Denmark – supposedly a gift from the king to apologize for swearing in front of her after she had accidentally killed one of his favorite dogs during a hunt.However Anne of Denmark never lived to see Inigo Jones’s progressive Classical design realised, dying in 1619 with only the first floor completed. It was not until 1629, when James’s son Charles I gave Greenwich to his wife Henrietta Maria, that work on it resumed.The Queen’s House was completed around 1636 and is considered remarkable for its break with the traditional, red-brick Tudor style of building, and for its elegant proportions and the high quality of its interiors. It was the first fully Classical building in England.

The Greenwich area overall is one that I recommended checking out, between the Queen’s House and the Naval College there is a lot to see, specially on a rainy day! The house hosted some great art and there are finishes within the home which are really detailed and rich. Check out the conservation in action area and speak to artist restoring marvelous works of art

One of Londons lesser-known gems, and one of my favourite places to visit. Stunning, evocative paintings (mainly naval themeddraw you in and take you back in time to a world that was. The Queens House is the perfect home to these works, so restful and peaceful, allowing you to go at your own pace and to take it all in without distraction. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and love to share their knowledge with you if you ask. And of course, its in Greenwich, such a lovely place to visit any time of the year.

Great location, stunning views, building is spectacular. Lots of history to be learnt inside this house. Well worth a visit.

I had a great experience visiting The Queens House in Greenwich. The architecture of the building is really prominent. There is a gorgeous hall and a magnificent spiral stair: The Tulip staircase. The exhibition of portraits is one of the best I have seen ever.Staff is very friendly. I want to come back to see the gallery more in detailed.

This was a royal residence but is now primarily used as an art gallery. You need a timed ticket which you should book in advance.It also has a picturesque spiral tulip staircase.

Great day out for couples and families (and all free). The house grand and beautiful and the exhibition — especially the Queen Victoria portraits — exquisite. Highly recommend taking a stroll up to the Observatory and and around the rose gardens too.

Really quaint museum, packed with amazing things. Would definitely go back with a little bit more time. Tour guide was super nice thank you ☺️

Historic building with world class art. Well displayed. Friendly helpful staff. Free entry (book online).

You could spend a while walking through the many rooms and admiring the endless paintings and objects placed around the House. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, everyone has to go one way in and out. I misunderstood that I still needed to book a ticket to visit the museum even though it was free entry. However, the staff were very friendly and nice and let me go through after putting down my name and contact details for track and tracing. I imagine that at peak hour, this arrangement probably wouldnt be possible due to number limits. I can imagine the tour of the house being a little uncomfortable at peak visiting times because some of the rooms are quite small, but if you time your visit right, its a very interesting walk through.The two main attractions I wanted to see were: the geometric black and white marble floor in the Great Hall and the Tulip Stairs. I wasnt disappointed and was very lucky to get both to my self for a while. Youll have to go through the entire walk through to see the Tulip Stairs, which are at the very end - the Great Hall is at the start of the walk through and at the end. However, if youre eager to just see the stairs, staff told me you can take the lift to the second floor and you should find yourself at the stairs.

Has a spectacular view of Greenwich Park and Old Royal Naval College, and a few pop up igloos for dining in. Food stalls around the area. Could easily spend an entire day here.

Absolutely incredible experience! Went when all Elizabeth I paintings were present and it was surreal. The decoration in the house is lovely, the architecture is incredible, especially the main staircase, the Great hall looks stunning and of course, the exhibits such as furniture, paintings, busks etc all look absolutely incredible! Must recommend for anyone who has a love for this period of history and just wants to see a stunning estate!
