We visited as part of a day trip to Greenwich. We had prebooked tickets although it was free to enter. We had to wait for our allotted time to ensure social distancing. We enjoyed our fairly short visit to Queens House which was primarily to see the Tulip Staircase which was beautiful. Recommended.…

I was lucky enough to attend at a time when the Woburn Collection (from Woburn Abbbey in Bedfordshire) was on loan to the gallery. This included several very well known works, most excitingly a portrait of a triumphant Elizabeth I, pictured in her most regal finery with a backdrop of windows giving on scenes of the defeat of the Spanish Arnada.

The Covid one-way system worked well.…
