The image, filled with the charm of the early 1900s, showcases the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic British institution. 3. The Royal Naval College, located in the heart of Greenwich, has a rich history that spans over four centuries. Established in 1873, it was designed by the renowned architects Alfred and Pugin, and is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. 4. In this photograph, we see the college's impressive Tudor-style buildings, nestled along the tranquil River Thames. The college's imposing Painted Hall, with its stunning baroque interior, is visible in the background.
