Plan your visit
As restrictions in England ease, we want to ensure that all our visitors, staff and volunteers still feel safe and comfortable when exploring our sites.
Many of our COVID-19 safety measures will remain in place, including enhanced cleaning, safe distancing and ticketed entry. We highly recommend wearing a face covering at all indoor venues and enclosed spaces.
We hope you will support us in these measures.
Please book tickets online in advance wherever possible. Timed tickets ensure that visits are spread out throughout the day and capacities are managed effectively. There's no limit to the time you can spend with us once you're here.
Limited tickets may be available if you turn up on the day, but to avoid disappointment we strongly advise booking in advance.
Find useful information about facilities at our museums including cloakrooms, baby change and accessibility, and information for visitors with disabilities coming to any of our sites.
Take a pit stop during your exploration of Greenwich at one of our cafés. We have something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a healthy snack, delicious breakfast or lunch.
