Locations
The location for the music recording was at The Chapel, Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
One of London’s most popular heritage sites, Wren’s twin domed riverside masterpiece sits at the heart of Maritime Greenwich.
Although best known for the 18th century buildings on the Thames embankment, the history of the site dates back to Tudor times when Greenwich Palace (reputedly Henry VIII’s favourite residence) was situated here.
The venue for two of the King’s marriages (to Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves), the Greenwich Palace was also the birthplace of both Mary Tudor and Queen Elizabeth I. The current buildings - built as the Royal Hospital for Seamen - were designed by two of England’s most celebrated architects, Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor. They include the beautiful Chapel of St Peter and St Paul and the glorious Painted Hall, one of the UK’s most spectacular painted architectural interiors.
Commissioned in the late 17th century with a gift from Queen Anne, (using booty confiscated from the notorious pirate, Captain Kidd!) the Painted Hall took artist Sir James Thornhill almost 20 years to complete. It features both the Stuart and the Hanoverian dynasties and is an homage to Britain’s maritime prowess. For most of the 20th century the site was occupied by the Royal Naval College. In 1998 it was given over to the Greenwich Foundation and opened to the public, since which time it has become one of the UK’s top visitor attractions.
The Royal connections remain strong to this day with Royal visits and events taking place on the site. In 2010 the Discover Greenwich Visitor Centre opened at ORNC which explores over 500 years of royal and maritime history. Using state of the art interpretation techniques and featuring historic objects (many on view for the first time) alongside, rare artefacts, film footage and models it is the ideal starting point for a visit to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.
The Old Royal Naval College is open daily from 10am to 5pm. Access to the Chapel, Painted Hall and Discover Greenwich is free (daily guided tours available priced £7.50 adults, children under 16 free). Special Group tours with exclusive access to the King William Undercroft also available.
