Eltham: Palace 
Description
This was originally a medieval palace built for the Kings and Queens of England. Henry VIII spent much of his childhood here, but the last monarch to visit was Charles I and afterwards the buildings started to fall into ruins. The Great Hall was rescues by Stephen and Virginia Courtauld - wealthy philanthropists and explorers who built an art deco mansion alongside restoring the Great Hall. Today the whole site - Modern mansion, Great Hall and the Grounds are open to look around with an audio guide that tells you the history of the building and it's restoration.
