Take a free guided tour around our historic building on Open House Festival weekend.
Join a special tour of the Royal College of Nursing headquarters in the heart of London. Gifted to the College in the 1920s, our HQ is a mix of architectural styles and periods. It incorporates a late 1720s house once belonging to Herbert Asquith, with a glorious painted staircase and a purpose-built 1920s College of Nursing. Come and explore this hidden gem for yourself.
Booking will be via the Open House Festival website from 20 August 2025.
Limited spaces are available. We will be offering regular paid public tours in the autumn, keep an eye on our event listings to find out more.
