Elsyng Palace is a Tudor royal residence located in Enfield, Middlesex, which was constructed during the reign of Henry VIII in the early sixteenth century. The palace served as a hunting lodge and occasional royal residence, reflecting the Tudor monarchy's investment in properties within easy reach of London. Little remains visible of the original structure today, as the site was largely demolished and built over in subsequent centuries, though archaeological investigation and historical records document its former extent and significance as part of the royal estate network of the Tudor period.
