Discover the Chelsea Pensioners’ own private regimental museum. This remarkable museum is not open to the public - it can only be experienced by booking this Wellington Hall Museum tour, making it a rare opportunity to explore the history that lives at the heart of the Royal Hospital.
Led by one of our expert Chelsea Pensioner Museum Guides, this intimate tour offers a unique perspective on centuries of military tradition, personal stories, and national heritage. During your visit, you’ll encounter extraordinary objects and displays, including:
- The Sovereign’s Mace
- The Queen’s Parade Chair
- Our new Napoleonic Era display
This is a truly unique experience—a chance to see remarkable artefacts up close and learn directly from those who have lived the military tradition themselves. The Wellington Hall Museum holds deep meaning for our Chelsea Pensioners, and we are delighted to share it with you.
Please note: This tour is not part of the free Exhibition in the Soane Stable Yard. It offers access to a different, privately held museum.
