Historic Greenwich with ‘Call the Midwife’ & Cream Tea
Step into the beloved world of Poplar’s midwives on this enchanting day out that brings the magic of the hit BBC series to life. Discover the real filming locations where Jenny Lee, Sister Julienne, and the unforgettable characters of Nonnatus House have captured hearts for over a decade.
Your adventure begins at the Historic Dockyard Chatham, where the official Call the Midwife Location Tour – a one of a kind experience – reveals how this 400-year-old dockyard transforms into 1950s East London. Led by your very own costumed midwife guide, you’ll walk the cobbled streets that double as ‘Poplar’, visit iconic locations like the Grosvenor Hotel and ‘Chummy’s Hill’ where Nurse Noakes famously learned to ride her bike.
The exclusive 90-minute experience includes access to a unique gallery featuring authentic sets, costumes, and props from the series. Step into Fred Buckle’s shop, pose for a selfie in Violet’s Haberdashery, or take a seat in Dr Turner’s waiting area – it’s like stepping directly onto the set! Your tour also includes full access to the Historic Dockyard’s maritime attractions, warships, and galleries.
After your location tour, we’ll treat you to a delightful cream tea – the perfect way to relax and reflect on your Call the Midwife experience whilst enjoying freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream, just as Sister Julienne would approve!
Afterwards, you can uncover the remarkable story of Chatham Dockyard and its community in your own time through captivating exhibition spaces like Command of the Oceans and The Ropery. Board three authentic historic warships to learn about naval construction, maintenance and repair, and view fascinating maritime treasures from the collections of Royal Museums Greenwich and Imperial War Museums. Your admission includes complete access to all exhibitions and ships.
On this tour, you’ll stay in the heart of historic Greenwich, where maritime heritage and royal connections create the perfect complement to your period drama adventure. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage site at your own pace, perhaps visiting the National Maritime Museum, standing on the Prime Meridian Line, boarding the Cutty Sark or enjoying alfreso cafe life on the riverside.
