- Lambeth Palace, London, UK
Lambeth Palace, located just off the river behind the St Thomas’ Hospital complex and Lambeth Palace Library, is the historic home of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Parts of the grand building and its gardens date back to the medieval era, making this fascinating and distinctive place one of the oldest landmarks in the area.
Following extensive renovation works over the past few years, in 2025 the Palace is opening its doors to the public for a series of special Heritage Open Palace Experience (HOPE) days.
During the HOPE Day, visitors can enjoy self-guided tours of the Palace’s most historic and significant spaces. Highlights include the chance to explore the State Rooms, the stunning 14th-century Guard Room halls, the sacred Crypt Chapel and the Great Hall that was built in 1663 by Archbishop William Juxon.
Hosted by some of the many incredible local charities that the Palace supports, the HOPE Days are envisaged as “a celebration of generosity, hospitality, and community”.
Winter 2025 Open Day
The last HOPE Day of 2025 at Lambeth Palace takes place on Friday 12 December and is raising money for AgeUK Lambeth and Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank. Advanced booking is advised, although a limited number of tickets will also be available on the door on the day.
