Story

The Charterhouse has been living the nation’s history since 1348. Founded as a medieval monastery of the Carthusian order, the site became a Tudor mansion, a boys’ school, and an almshouse, which it remains to this day. We provide accommodation for over 40 individuals known as ‘Brothers’ who form part of the community alongside staff, private and commercial tenants, and residents of the Infirmary.

Our historic and peaceful 7 acre site is an inspiring location for filming and private events. In late January 2017 we opened our doors to the public for the first time in our 660 year history as part of the Revealing the Charterhouse project.

Come and discover our fascinating story revealed through our new museum and learning programme; explore the site during a paid tour; and relax with tea and homemade cake in our café. We look forward to welcoming you.

Nice place to visits with family and friends. Once you get in, it is so peaceful and quite, you will forgot that you are in central London. It is a perfect place to spend the afternoon. Make sure you book in advance.
Hidden gem in the heart of London. Over 600 years of history...
We had one of the most amazing tour guides, she was funny and could answer all out questions. The tour itself was very interesting. From religious wars to the creation of national football rules. Look for Kayden on the weekends to give tours.
Beautiful historical place, dating back from 1348. It started as a burial site for victims of the Black Death, then as a monastery, a Tudor mansion, an almshouse and a boys’ school. The museum is small but very well displayed and the chapel is well worth a visit.
Great historical buildings, definitely book onto one of their tours.
Excellent guided tour and interesting museum. The cafe next door is definitely 5 stars!
A gem of a place. Truly special. Had a tour by one of the one of the residents of the almshouse and it was wonderful — particularly loved the chapel and dining hall. While it’s not the most exciting place, it is one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in London.
