Wartime Watch | Secret Dome Tour

Discover the hidden history of Wren’s Dome and gain a unique perspective on Britain’s wartime past in this intimate tour, limited to just six people.

An expert guide will lead you up the narrow, winding staircase into one of Greenwich’s most intriguing spaces. From this historic vantage point, once used to defend London during the Second World War, you’ll uncover original relics and the powerful stories behind them.

Get a closer look at the Dome’s fascinating architecture and see the inner workings of the historic turret clock.

Learn how the Royal Naval College was directly impacted by the war, from the fierce fires that swept along the Thames in 1940 to the air raids that damaged the King Charles building in 1943.
