The Tour and Charterhouse

The guided tour will last half an hour and includes the Old Library, the Great Hall, the Cloisters, the Great Chamber and the Chapel, followed by a drinks reception in the Old Library.

The Charterhouse is a former Carthusian monastery in London, to the north of what is now Charterhouse Square. Since the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century the house served as a private mansion, a boys' school and an almshouse, which it remains to this day. The building is formally known as Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse.
