    We were surprise how much time we have spent in a historical building which has only one room. Take the audio guide and you will spend the next 1.5 hours learning about great royal and art history.

    This was the only part of Whitehall Palace, one of the greatest in Europe, not destroyed by the fire of 1698. Charles I was executed on a scaffold built at window-level outside this building.

    Charles I and his head parted company here, in case you didn't know. It was sewn back on later, don't worry.
