76 Portland Place
only surviving part of the Palace of Whitehall. The building that now stands, though not the original Banqueting House, was built in 1622 by leading architect Inigo Jones. To this day, the house is still owned by the Crown.
The building was made even more impressive by Charles I when he commissioned Rubens to paint the ceiling. His nine canvases are still intact today. The building was even significant at the time of Charles I’s death; he was beheaded at the site in 1649 on a high scaffold outside the north end of Banqueting House.
