Royal Hospital Chelsea
Historic site · Chelsea, England
The Royal Hospital Chelsea occupies the riverside strip along Royal Hospital Road, and the operator directs visitors to Chelsea Gate. It names the Soane Stable Yard, an interactive exhibition, guided tours and the Wren Chapel among what a visitor sees. No source states its opening hours, so none are given here.
