Detail InformationEdit

The Banqueting House is the grandest and best known survivor of the architectural genre of banqueting house, and the only remaining component of the Palace of Whitehall. The building is important in the history of English architecture as the first building to be completed in the neo-classical style which was to transform English architecture.
Created by Inigo Jones, it was the first in England to be designed in a Palladian style and was finished 1622 for James I. Intended for the splendour and exuberance of court masques, the Banqueting House is probably most famous for one real life drama; the execution of Charles I which took place here in 1649 to the ‘dismal, universal groan’ of the crowd.
Throughout its history the Banqueting House has played host to parliamentary receptions, investitures and ennoblements. All of which took place beneath the breath-taking canvases of Peter Paul Rubens. These magnificent paintings have survived flood, fire and war and it is nothing short of miraculous that you can still enjoy them in their original setting, just as kings and courtiers have done for the past four hundred years. During your visit explore the Undercroft, originally designed as a drinking den for James I and a place where he could escape the rigors of public life.
