Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: 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.
Punti salienti: 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.
Consigli da insider
- 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.
