The Charterhouse has been living the nation’s history since 1371. Encompassing seven acres between Barbican and Farringdon, the Charterhouse has been a monastery, a Tudor mansion, a boys’ school and an almshouse, which it remains to this day. There is a free museum and access to the Chapel, as well as several fascinating daily tours, some of which are conducted by almshouse residents. Several of the stunning rooms included on the tour are also available to hire.

The Charterhouse sits just outside the City of London boundary and is within walking distance to some of the City’s top attractions.
