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.

Refunds are available for cancellations made 7 or more business days before the event.
