Explore enviable interiors including the amazing art deco dining room, site of many illustrious dinner parties; and Virginia Courtauld's gold-plated bathroom. For a complete contrast with the 1930s rooms, step into the 1470s Great Hall - part of the medieval royal palace of Eltham, where Henry VIII spent his childhood. Don't miss the palace's beautiful gardens, with their mix of medieval remains and Arts and Crafts influences. In the afternoon we visit Crossness Pumping Station.
