....travel through five centuries of scandal, royal dramas, deaths and terrifying hauntings.

Hear the stories of those who have called Hackney’s oldest house a home since it was built in 1535 by Thomas Cromwell’s right-hand man Ralph Sadleir. Mid-way through the tour, enjoy another glass of prosecco in the lavish Tudor Great Chamber. Sutton House has been a Victorian school, a men’s club, the headquarters of a trade union, a family home, and a squat, and has housed anarcho-punks, descendants of the first refugees, and figures with problematic links to the East India Company.
