Eltham Palace is a royal residence in Greenwich, London, with origins in the medieval period and significant phases of development extending into the twentieth century. The palace began as a moated manor house in the fourteenth century and became a favoured royal retreat, particularly during the fifteenth century when it served as a winter residence for the Tudor court. The surviving structures include the Great Hall, built by Henry VIII in the early sixteenth century, which features a hammer-beam roof and remains one of the finest examples of Tudor architecture. The site also preserves medieval moated earthworks and was substantially extended in the 1930s with Art Deco additions, reflecting its continued occupation and use across multiple historical periods.
