In this riveting ranking of London's castles and palaces by Travels Unfiltered, viewers are taken on a thrilling journey from the least to the most impressive regal abodes. Starting off with Seven Drew Castle, a rather underwhelming small tower offering forgettable views, the list progresses through Hall Palace and Gardens, a Tudor mansion located quite a trek away from central London, and Fulham Palace, a former bishop's residence that, let's face it, doesn't quite measure up to Buckingham Palace. Moving on to RER's House in Greenwich, famed for its Wernern art collection, and Marble Hill House, which, despite its intriguing history tied to King George II's mistress, falls short in tourist appeal.
Transitioning to the mid-tier, we encounter gems like Chisik House, an Italian-inspired villa that seems plucked straight from Rome, Charlton House boasting secret tunnels and ornate ceilings, and the whimsical Strawberry Hill House, a gothic masterpiece straight out of a Disney fantasy. Not to be overlooked are Austly Park and House, a grand Georgian estate offering a countryside escape just a stone's throw from central London, and the rarely accessible yet historically rich Lambeath Palace, home to the Archbishop of Canterbury for over 800 years. St. James's Palace, often missed by passersby despite its royal significance, and Elum Palace, a unique blend of medieval and art deco influences, also make their mark on this illustrious list.
Climbing up the ladder, we reach the top five must-visit sites, starting with the charming Q Palace nestled within Q Gardens, followed by the historic Kensington Palace, birthplace of Queen Victoria and current residence of Prince William and Kate. Hampton Court Palace emerges as a Tudor treasure trove, complete with a legendary maze and rumored hauntings, while Buckingham Palace, the epitome of regal grandeur, stands as an iconic symbol of British monarchy. And finally, taking the crown is the Tower of London, a fortress steeped in centuries of history, from royal executions to stolen crown jewels, making it an absolute essential on any London itinerary.
