Bower House, Palladian mansion in Havering-atte-Bower, England.

The symmetrical stone building features a grand entrance with columns, large windows, and architectural elements from the former Havering Palace.

Henry Flitcroft designed this Grade I listed mansion in 1729, marking his first architectural commission and incorporating materials from the demolished royal palace.

The interior staircase displays murals by James Thornhill, while the exterior reflects the refined architectural principles of 18th-century English country houses.

The mansion now functions as a Christian training center, situated 15 miles northeast of central London with views over Essex and Kent.

Charles Bridgeman created the surrounding gardens and possibly designed the Grade I listed stable block that stands alongside the main building.

Location: London Borough of Havering

Architects: Henry Flitcroft
