    Wonderful architecture. Don't miss the Chapel (free lunchtime concerts in term time), the Painted Hall, and views of the Thames and Greenwich Park.

    In the King William Undercroft M pays her respects to the 8 victims of Silva's bombing of the MI6 Building in Skyfall (2012). The scene originally involved a funeral, but was cut from the final edit. Read more

    Great architecture, but the painted wall is under renovation when I go and requires a fee for the guided tour to visit it.

    The West gate of the Royal Naval College was used as a double for the gates of Buckingham Palace for a scene in National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) as Ben and Abigail look for the Resolute Desk.

    Is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London. Built in 1712. Also known as Greenwich Hospital. It was used as filming location for Les Misérables.

    Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the college was going to have an enormous dome in the middle, but Queen Mary II objected as it would block the view of the river from her house in Greenwich Park.

    Film set ruining the view. I hear it's Sacha Baron Cohen's fault.
