Spending a couple of days in London, we decided to visit the Banqueting House on Saturday morning, after a gap of many years since we last enjoyed the building. Spectacular architecture by Inigo Jones and an awe inspiring ceiling by Rubens. Make sure you use the excellent free audio guide which brings the whole history of the building to life. Enjoy viewing the ceiling either via the handily placed mirror for the less able or for the more agile by lying back on the flexible bean bag style seating. Looking across Whitehall to the crowds jostling for the perfect selfie with the Horse Guards, all in the wind and rain, it seemed a shame that more were not enjoying this great building which has played such a big part in British history. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

    The banquet hall is a National Monument and is open to the public. It was designed in neoclassical style and completed in 1822. The hall has beautiful and magnificent pillars and amazing ceiling paintings. Charles I was beheaded outside the hall in history, and it is also very close to Downing Street.

    Before the big fire in history, it was the largest palace in Europe and had long been the principal residence of the King of England in London. From St. James'Park, we can see the Banquet Hall, a relic of the Charles White Hall Palace fire. It was the banquet hall and the main building in the palace at that time. The palace, which has experienced historical storms, is still a hotel for the Royal family.

    Photographs are not allowed for intrauterine visits. The overall impression is simple and elegant. Because it is still in use, rather than a pure Memorial place, the various furnishings, banquet halls, reception halls, gifts presented to the Queen by the heads of state, the Queen's dress display and so on can easily remind people of a single news happened at a certain time that they are familiar with, and naturally feel that the whole palace is alive.

    Banquet Hall is a hall that has experienced many vicissitudes of life. It survived a fire in the history of London. It is a miracle that it can be preserved now. It is also a hall dedicated to various ceremonies held by the British royal family so far. The magnificence of the hall is brilliant and magnificent. Its luxury can be seen from its various details. The articles and decorations in the hall are all right and wrong. Often sophisticated.
