Eltham Palace, Medieval palace and Art Deco mansion in Royal Borough of Greenwich, England.
Eltham Palace is a scheduled monument in the Royal Borough of Greenwich that combines a medieval hall with a carved oak roof and an Art Deco residence. The hall dates from the late Middle Ages, while the adjoining house was built in the 1930s.
The estate was given to the Crown in the early 14th century and served several kings as a residence during their youth or reign. After centuries of royal use, the court left the building permanently in the 16th century.
The estate shows the Courtauld family's unusual choice to preserve medieval architecture alongside the luxury comforts of the 1930s. The rooms are furnished today as they were during that period, with furniture and details from the same era.
The grounds are located southeast of central London and can be reached by public transport from the city center. Visitors should plan several hours for both parts of the estate, as the interiors include numerous rooms.
The family kept a lemur as a pet and built a heated chamber for the animal with direct access to their living quarters. The interiors still show some of the original fittings designed for the animal.
