The Old Royal Naval College dominates the riverfront at Greenwich.
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the complex was originally a Royal
Navy hospital, but from 1873 to 1998 was home to the Royal Navy’s
officer training school.

In October and November 2024, the Painted Hall hosted an installation by

transparent cubes that pulses with light.
