Queen's House is a Grade I listed building located in Greenwich, London, rather than Kent. Designed by Inigo Jones and constructed between 1616 and 1635, it represents a seminal work of English Palladian architecture and marks a significant departure from preceding Jacobean styles. The building served as a royal residence, most notably for Henrietta Maria, consort of Charles I, and exemplifies Jones's introduction of classical proportions and symmetry to English architectural practice. Its geometric plan, rusticated stonework, and restrained ornamentation established principles that influenced English country house design throughout the seventeenth century and beyond.
