Eltham Palace is a royal residence in Greenwich, London, with origins in the medieval period and significant expansion during the Tudor era. The palace was a favoured residence of English monarchs from the fourteenth century onwards, with substantial building campaigns undertaken by Edward IV and Henry VIII, who together created one of the grandest royal compounds of their time. The surviving structures include the impressive Great Hall, built by Edward IV in the 1470s, which demonstrates the architectural ambitions of late medieval royal building, alongside Tudor additions and modifications. The site also contains the well-preserved moat and earthwork defences that characterise the palatial complex, reflecting both its defensive requirements and status as a major seat of royal power.
