Deck the hall

A confluence of styles and eras, Eltham Palace & Gardens in London is part art deco mansion and part medieval hall, with lavish interiors to admire. Outdoors, cross London's oldest working bridge into the 19-acre garden, stroll beside the moat and explore the garden rooms. Hellebores bloom from December and the scent of viburnum fills the air. OFFER Palace & garden: 2 for 1 from £15 (see website for prices), single reduced by 25%. Offer not valid on bank holiday weekends or event dates with an advertised additional charge - check website. english-heritage.org.uk/eltham
