Eltham Palace: 

Eltham Palace is a unique mix of medieval and early twentieth century architecture. The original manor house was built in the early 1300s, with the Great Hall added in the 1470s by Edward IV. This is also where Henry VIII spent his childhood. The art deco mansion came much later in 1936.
