Built around 1500, Whitehall is a Grade II* listed Tudor house in the heart of Cheam Village opened to the public as a local museum in 1978 by the London Borough of Sutton following a campaign by the community. The story of Whitehall, its construction and former occupants offer unique insights into the past. The recently completed National Heritage Lottery Fund refurbishment project, supported by the Borough and Friends of Whitehall, presents an opportunity to rediscover this incredible site with greater access than ever before. As well as improved physical accessibility, the space offers the community an exciting new hub for education and entertainment, inviting visitors to add to Whitehall's unique story moving into the future.
Visited this place for a Tudor fashion exhibit(which is ongoing and ends in Oct 2024). Also, the entry to the museum and the Tudor clothing exhibit was free. This house dates back to the 1500. Highly unassuming from the outside, but there's a plethora of iconic pieces housed within. Everything ranging from a model of the nonsuch palace to the contributions, position of Cheam during world war 1 to history/details of lavender and mint growth , harvesting in Carshalton/Mitcham and the distillation process; and much more is all housed in this beautiful place. The place is so well maintained. Definitely worth a visit for the history buffs.
What a gem of a place. Fascinating building, history, and delicious homemade Pistachio cake in their cafe. It's nicely put together
So interesting! Step back in time and enjoy a nice piece of cake and coffee at the cafe. We sat out in the garden. Dogs are allowed.
Pretty cool historical building. Worth a visit if you're nearby. Child friendly and there's an accessible lift if you need it. Open Sundays and free entry too. Being a surveyor, there's not a single level surface but I'm not doing a report on this so it's all good
Incredible Italian food from a lovely restaurant run by a mother and son. Everything is made by hand and from scratch. HIGHLY recommended!
The historical House is very fascinating, with different rooms showing part of her long history and the people who lived there during the centuries. There's also an amazing cafe inside with the garden with amazing Italian homemade food, we had a lovely time
