London's famous Banqueting House is a piece of history unlike any other. As the site of many a major historical event, the structure has seen its share of monarch and great events taking place within its halls and beneath its vaulted ceilings. Your entry ticket allows you explore the splendid locations within the Banqueting Hall and learn of the histories behind each one. Beginning from the outside, you can step up to the execution site of Charles I, right where the scaffolding stood before the building. Inside, make sure you don't miss a masterpiece from one of the greatest painters in English history: the nine paintings upon the ceiling made by Sir Peter Paul Rubens. The architecture itself is a fascinating sight, as massive stone carvings are found on its walls, an example of the Palladianism influence. Whether you plan to walk the imposing domed halls of the Undercroft or looking through the collection of art and sculpture on the walls, your visit can be guided by an audio guide provided by the location.
