Eton College

Eton College is widely regarded as the country’s most prestigious public school. The school was established by Henry VI in 1440, originally as a charity to provide free education for 70 students who would continue their education at King’s College at Cambridge. However the school soon started accepting fee-paying students.

The best way to see Eton College is to take a guided tour, which lets you see areas of the school not normally accessible to the public. Tours focus on the school’s historical sights including the schoolyard, the College Chapel, the Upper School and the College Hall. The school also runs several museums including the Eton Museum of Antiquities, the Museum of Eton Life and the Eton Natural History Museum.
