Guided tours must be booked in advance. Our volunteer guides come in specially to lead these tours, so please let us know as soon as possible if you can no longer attend. Please try to arrive on time so you don't miss out on part of the tour! If you would like to visit our café, you are welcome to do so at the end of your tour.

Please note that this page is for booked guided tours ONLY. If you would prefer not to join a guided tour, we are open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for self-guided visits from 11am-5pm (last entry 4pm) which do not require booking.

You might also like to visit our partner venue Stanley Picker Gallery, which is located on Kingston University's Knights Park campus, and is a short journey from Dorich House Museum by car, cycle, or the free KU bus. You can book a visit here.

Please note, the museum is located over four floors. There are 78 steps to the top floor, which is accessed via a narrow staircase. The museum currently has no wheelchair accessible toilets. We apologise that we are unable to offer full access for all physical abilities at this time. Kingston University is working to improve access for all visitors. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions in advance of your visit.

Our commitment to our visitors

• We have trained our staff to manage your visit in a safe and friendly manner

• Our onsite free car and bike parking allow you to travel independently to the museum

We can accommodate small group bookings for KU staff & students, local schools and community groups. If you would like to arrange a group visit, please contact us directly at dorichhousemuseum@kingston.ac.uk or call us on 020 8417 5515.
