A new experience offering guests the chance to have afternoon tea at a famous historical landmark in Greenwich is launching for Mother’s Day.

For the first time, guests will be able to take afternoon tea in The Painted Hall on March 10.

Known as Britain’s Sistine Chapel, the Painted Hall located in Greenwich’s Old Royal Naval College is a stunning 18th century building with 200 painted figures.

The baroque hall, originally designed by Sir James Thornhill, features an array of figures that depict Britain’s long history.

It has also served as a backdrop for well-known films and TV shows like Netflix’s The Crown and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon.
