Did You Know London Has Its Own Sistine Chapel?

This is a sponsored article on behalf of Old Royal Naval College.

Greenwich's Old Royal Naval College's stunning Painted Hall is a must-see. It's one of Europe's best Baroque interiors, and for a limited time, you have the chance to scale 60ft and view the incredible artwork on the ceilings up-close.

The Painted Hall Ceiling Tour is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ascend a viewing platform and admire the images like never before. It's all part of a major restoration project aiming to return the paintings to their former glory. When you take the tour, you'll also get a chance to see the conservators at work.

Usually, visitors would have to take in the ceiling's artwork from afar, way down on the ground, but this tour is a chance to explore the intricacy and detail of the paintings properly.

The Painted Hall was lavishly decorated between 1707 -1726, and is so impressive that critics refer to it as 'London's very own Sistine Chapel'. Book onto the hour-long Painted Hall Ceiling Tour and decide for yourself — you'll have to have a head for heights and be ready to pop on a hardhat.

Find out more about these exclusive tours, and get in quick, as the chance to see these paintings up close is only available until September 2017.
