Unlocking the Secrets of Camden Place

Our ‘Unlock the Secrets’ tour is packed with fascinating insights and information. Tea, coffee and cake are served on arrival.

You will begin your visit with a two-part talk to help provide the context and historical background to both the history and architecture of the house.

• We examine the history of the residents and key events from William Camden in 1609 to the golf club formation in 1894.
• We then provide a whistle stop introduction to the Imperial family; how they came to Chislehurst and events once they were here.

You will then enjoy a tour, in small groups, of our ground floor rooms and heritage exhibition. The tour is limited to the ground floor because we have residents upstairs.

After your tour you can visit the Prince Imperial Monument (opposite Camden Place about 90 yards away) or take a 10-minute walk to the Catholic Church of St Mary’s where both Napoleon and his son the Prince Imperial were first buried, before their remains were removed to Farnborough Abbey in 1888.

There will be a 3 course  roast Sunday lunch served in one of the rooms where the Imperial family entertained.

Tickets are £70 including tea/coffee on arrival a talk on the history of Camden Place and its residents, a tour of Camden Place ground floor rooms, and  a 3-course carvery lunch.

Please provide information on any dietary requirements on booking.
