Queens House

Queens House was built for Anne of Denmark, wife of King James I. Now it serves as a gallery packed with nautical artwork, from depictions of the Spanish Armada to World War 2 and beyond.

Despite all this my abiding memory will be learning that the palace has a “writing closet” that is bigger than any room in my flat.
