Remains of Winchester Palace, Clink Street and waterfront is a medieval palace complex located on the south bank of the Thames in Southwark, London. The site was the London residence of the Bishops of Winchester from the twelfth century onwards and served as an important episcopal administrative and residential centre throughout the medieval period. Substantial remains survive including the fourteenth-century great hall with its distinctive rose window and sections of the palace walls and waterfront defences. The palace was damaged during the English Civil War and subsequently declined, with much of the site later built over, though archaeological and standing remains testify to its former grandeur and significance as one of the most important aristocratic residences in medieval London.
