Stand beneath the vast baroque ceiling James Thornhill spent nearly twenty years painting, in the dining hall of the Old Royal Naval College.
Why it's a good date: It's one of the grandest rooms in the country, and a wet day is a good excuse to linger. Afterwards, wander the college's courtyards and riverside grounds, which are free.
