Step Into History: An exclusive candlelit evening at the London Charterhouse

Join fellow members of the Insurance Institute of London for a rare and atmospheric private tour of the London Charterhouse by Candlelight - a hidden gem steeped in centuries of intrigue, resilience, and transformation.

As dusk settles over Clerkenwell, you'll be welcomed into this historic monastic complex, once a Carthusian monastery, Tudor mansion, and plague hospital. Wander through shadowed cloisters, the evocative Great Chamber, and the tranquil chapel, all illuminated by flickering candlelight that brings the past vividly to life.

Highlights include:

• A guided journey through 650 years of London’s layered history
• Tales of monks, monarchs, and misfortune told in the glow of candlelight
• Exclusive access to areas not open to the general public
• A chance to connect with fellow professionals in a truly unforgettable setting

This intimate evening promises to evoke the mystery and majesty of medieval London. Places are limited - don’t miss your chance to explore one of the city’s best-kept secrets in a whole new light.

A welcome drink will be provided on arrival and is included in the ticket price.
