4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: All visitors must first head to the Visitor Centre (located in the restored glasshouses to the south-east of the palace) to scan pre-booked tickets, purchase walk-up entry, or validate English Heritage membership cards. From there, you will cross the historic moat bridge to access the Art Deco mansion and medieval Great Hall. Note that pushchairs and prams are not permitted inside the mansion house and must be left in the designated buggy parking area, and only registered assistance dogs are allowed on the grounds.
- Price: Official tickets for Eltham Palace and Gardens are managed by English Heritage, with free entry for members. Standard adult tickets start from £17.00 (without donation) or £18.70 (with donation) and child tickets (ages 5–17) from £8.50 (without donation) or £9.35 (with donation) when booked online in advance (by midnight the day before) to secure a 15% discount. Buying on the day, whether online or at the gate, incurs full price (starting from £20.00 for adults without donation), which aligns with the standard rates of around £18.70 seen on partner platforms.
- Discounts: English Heritage members receive free admission and can reserve free timed tickets online in advance, but must present their valid membership card on arrival. Children under 5 enter free of charge; while they do not require a paid ticket, you can add a free infant ticket to your online booking. Reduced-rate child tickets are available for ages 5–17. Concession rates apply to seniors aged 65+, students with valid ID, and jobseekers. Essential carers accompanying a disabled visitor receive free entry. Note that National Trust membership does not grant free access to this English Heritage site.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my Eltham Palace tickets, or can I show them on my phone?
You do not need to print your tickets. You can show the email confirmation and barcode on your mobile device at the entrance desk to be scanned. If you are using a digital sightseeing pass, simply present the pass on your phone.
Can I get a refund or change the date of my ticket if my plans change?
Tickets purchased directly from English Heritage are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you require flexibility, consider booking standard tickets through partner platforms like Tiqets or GetYourGuide, which may offer free cancellation or rescheduling options depending on their checkout terms.
How does the car-free travel discount work for Eltham Palace?
Through the Good Journey scheme, you can get a 20% discount on walk-up tickets if you travel by train, bus, or bicycle. You must present a valid same-day transport ticket, show your TfL Oyster/Contactless app journey history, or show your bicycle helmet at the ticket counter to claim the discount.
Who is eligible for free or reduced-price entry?
English Heritage members and children under 5 enter for free. Reduced-rate concession tickets are available for seniors aged 65 and over, students with valid ID, jobseekers, and youth aged 5 to 17. Essential companions accompanying disabled visitors are also admitted free of charge.
Are there bag restrictions or security checks at the palace?
Yes, visitors must pass through a quick security and bag check before entering. To avoid delays, it is recommended to bring only small bags. There are no lockers or cloakrooms on-site, so large luggage cannot be accommodated.
What happens if I arrive late for my booked entry time slot?
Eltham Palace tickets are valid for the entire day of your booking. You can arrive at any time during operational hours and stay as long as you like. However, last admission is one hour before closing, so plan to arrive early enough to explore the house and gardens.
Is Eltham Palace fully wheelchair accessible?
While the gardens and ground floor are accessible, the lift inside the palace is currently out of service, meaning there is no step-free access to the upper floor. Visitors who cannot use the stairs can access a virtual tour of the upper rooms via the provided multimedia guides.
