School Trips @ The Charterhouse
Home / London & South East / Greater London
Our inspiring schools programme offers wonderful opportunities for pupils of all ages. Developed in consultation with the Museum of London, we offer a host of activities in our uniquely historical setting. We provide a range of workshops for Primary, Secondary and A Level pupils involving a guided tour and creative workshop. All sessions pivot on the History curriculum but incorporate a cross-curricular approach with themes linked to Art, English and Religious Education.

Take in our changing architecture, from medieval cloisters to grand Tudor chambers and halls and bring the English Reformation to striking life.
