The palace can be visited
Whitehall Palace was the main residence of the kings of England in London between 1530 and 1698. It was then the largest palace in Europe with over 1,500 rooms, and was for a time the largest building in the world! Now it's not a palace, but has the remains of the banquet room, the only part that was preserved after a fire in 1698, the rest of the palace was destroyed and not rebuilt.
