Why it's Wildland
5.0A former royal residence and art gallery, Queen’s House is known for its classical design, the Great Hall, the Tulip Stairs and artworks including Elizabeth I’s Armada Portrait. The Greenwich house was designed by Inigo Jones for Anne of Denmark and completed for Henrietta Maria.
Its appeal is not wilderness but the meeting of architecture, art and royal history: a distinctive historic house where the Great Hall, Tulip Stairs and collection reward a focused visit.
