Read:
Henry VIII put an armoury there, and there was a special area for jousting - mounted knights separated by a barrier who rode at each other with lances. There were also gardens and orchards, a great fountain and a sprawling mass of buildings.
The Palace was also in a strategic location, because at the time either side of Greenwich on the Thames were important Royal Dockyards.
Eventually, though, the Palace fell into disrepair. In 1664, the King at the time, Charles II, decided to demolish it and replace it with completely new buildings in a modern style. Only a cellar from the former Royal Palace now remains, underneath one of the new buildings. Its red brick, typical of the sixteenth century, contrasts sharply with the white stone and columns that are above it.
