Venue and accessibility information

The Charterhouse has a rich history dating back to the 14th century, when it served as a burial ground during the Black Death, and later became a significant Tudor site before evolving into a charitable foundation in 1611. The event will take place in the Tudor Great Chamber, the last of its kind in London, where Elizabeth I prepared for her coronation and James I bestowed knighthoods upon his favoured noblemen.

The Charterhouse offers lift access from the ground floor to the Great Chamber and has accessible toilets on the same level.
