As the custodian of over 400 historic places, dating from prehistory to the Cold War, English Heritage is uniquely placed to explain English history. We also look after London's Blue Plaque scheme, and care for half a million artefacts. Explore these pages to find out more.
Bookings for Education Visits to our sites will reopen from 31 August. By that time, we will have adapted our offering and introduced new measures to keep everyone safe. Until we're able to welcome you back, our team of teachers and educational experts will continue to bring you top tips and guidance for teaching history at home and in the classroom. Our free downloadable resources are full of inspiration to help you plan your visit from September.
