What it is
Museum tags: Historic building; Tudor history; Architecture
A Grade II* listed Tudor hunting lodge, originally built under the reign of Henry VIII and later renovated by Elizabeth I. As well as being an excellent example of Tudor architecture and one of the few surviving timber-framed Tudor buildings in London, it hosts a small museum about the period and how the building was used. There are also great views of Epping Forest from the top floor.
We stumbled across it entirely by accident. The building is quite something — a genuine Tudor hunting lodge, one of the last remaining buildings rom the era in the city. Inside, the exhibitions about the building, what it was used for, and the question of whether its namesake Elizabeth ever actually visited are interesting, and the guides are informative.
