Eltham Palace

Nice weather today so we visited a local tourist attraction, Eltham Palace:

Behind the gates in the background of this photo you can just see a fingerpost which marks the route of the Capital Ring Walk – you can see the photo that I took in 2017 when walking past this spot here: Capital Ring Walk 1 & 2 – Woolwich to Grove Park

We crossed a bridge over the moat to get to the palace:

and inside, greeted by a stunning circular reception room in Art Deco style:

Most of the rooms are more reminiscent of a hotel than a home:

Then on to the Great Hall, renovated from part of the original building on the site:

After a coffee break, we explored the gardens (with views across to London):


and then under the bridge we walked over earlier:

Looking over to docklands:

A lovely morning out!
