Royal Hospital Chelsea, Founder's Day      

The Royal Hospital Chelsea will be here for today's young soldiers on the front line when they retire.


Few British institutions can boast three centuries of unbroken service, and none is closer to the heart of the nation than 'The Men in Scarlet', the Chelsea Pensioners.

Their home, the Royal Hospital Chelsea, was founded in 1682 by King Charles II to provide soldiers with a fitting home in their retirement.

The Royal Hospital is proud to continue to serve its original purpose into the 21st Century.
