Eltham Palace is the main reason anyone outside southeast London has heard of Eltham. The medieval royal palace, where Henry VIII spent part of his childhood, fell into ruin before being spectacularly restored in the 1930s by Stephen and Virginia Courtauld, who added an Art Deco mansion to the medieval Great Hall. The palace and gardens are managed by English Heritage. Eltham is a suburban area in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The population of the wider Eltham area is around 50,000. Bob Hope was born in Eltham in 1903 before his family emigrated to the United States.
Eltham and Mottingham stations provide Southeastern services to central London. The A20 and A210 run through the area. Eltham High Street carries the main local retail. For adult companionship, Eltham is covered by the Metropolitan Police and falls under England and Wales criminal law.
