Mejor época para visitar
Weekday mornings around 10am are quietest for photography. December evenings are magical when the exterior is lit up for the Christmas markets.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry is free, though donations are welcomed. Guided tours cost around £5-7 and are worth it for access to areas normally closed to the public.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: The Great Hall's 15-meter-high hammerbeam roof is one of the largest unsupported medieval-style wooden ceilings in Britain. Fourteen statues of English monarchs line the exterior, starting with William the Conqueror and ending with Queen Victoria.
Destacados: Look for the tiny carved rats hidden throughout the woodwork. Legend says the medieval architect grew frustrated with his client and secretly carved rats into the beams as a silent protest, and over 20 have been discovered so far.
Consejos de expertos
- Join a guided tour to access the hidden courtroom and the Lord Mayor's reception rooms not open to general visitors.
- The best photo spot is from the first-floor landing looking up at the Great Hall's ceiling.
- Visit on a weekday to avoid wedding parties and event setups that close off sections of the building.
- Check ahead for closure dates as the building frequently hosts civic ceremonies and state functions.
