Tickets Alert: Open days at Whitehall's Banqueting House

Whitehall's Banqueting House, one of the few survivors of the vast Palace of Whitehall, is due to reopen this summer, but is having a few preview days before fully reopening. Inside the highlight is the painted ceiling by Sir Peter Paul Rubens, commissioned by King Charles I and installed in 1636. That painted ceiling would also have been one of the last things the King saw when he was led out onto the scaffolding to be executed.
