Wednesday 25 October
Helen White
Helen White, Senior Interpretation Manager at the Old Royal Naval College, will talk about their forthcoming exhibition, CHOCOLATE HOUSE GREENWICH.
Part of the Wren 300 programme marking the tercentenary of the death of Sir Christopher Wren. The exhibition focuses on Greenwich in the early 1700s, when it was a hub of cultural and scientific activity with Sir Christopher Wren’s Royal Hospital for Seamen at its heart. Just up the hill on the edge of Blackheath, THE CHOCOLATE HOUSE was a new meeting place for sophisticated society.
Greenwich Historical Society meets at

Would you consider repeating this talk during the day ? I live in Southend-on-Sea and would not come up to London for an evening.
