The London Lark
Romanticised London · Clerkenwell

Charterhouse by Candlelight

Flickering candlelight runs down flagstones older than memory.

For one special evening the Charterhouse's medieval and Tudor buildings are lit only by candles. After a welcome drink in the Great Chamber, a guide leads you through cloisters, chapels and courtyards where monks, courtiers and schoolboys once walked. The flicker of flame on stone reveals carvings and coats of arms; it feels like eavesdropping on centuries of whispered prayer and intrigue.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
