thecharterhouse.org/ →The Charterhouse is a former Carthusian monastery on Charterhouse Square, founded in 1371 on a site used as an emergency burial ground during the Black Death, later a Tudor mansion, then the almshouse and charity founded by Thomas Sutton in 1611 that it remains today. Around 40 residents still live and dine communally in its 16th-century Great Hall. Its museum display, curated in partnership with the London Museum, tells the site's story from the Black Death to the present, and guided tours — led by professional guides or by resident Brothers themselves — run Tuesday to Saturday, making it as much a living community as a heritage site to visit.
