Wedding Location: Eltham Palace, South London
From Wikipedia: Eltham Palace is a large house in Eltham, London, United Kingdom, currently owned by English Heritage and open to the public. It has been said the partially Art Deco house is a "masterpiece of modern design"
Historic palace
The original palace was given to Edward II in 1305 and used as a royal residence from the 14th to the 16th century. According to one account the incident which inspired Edward III's foundation of the Order of the Garter took place here. As the favourite palace of Henry IV it played host to Manuel II Palaiologos, the only Byzantine emperor ever to visit England, from December 1400 to January 1401, with a joust being given in his honour. There is still a jousting tilt yard. Edward IV built a Great Hall in the 1470s, and Prince Henry also grew up here; it was here that he met and impressed the scholar Erasmus. In the 1630s, by which time the palace was no longer used by the royal family, Sir Anthony van Dyck was given the use of a suite of rooms as a country retreat. The palace never recovered from its neglect during the English Civil War.
The current house was built in the 1930s on the site of the original, and incorporates its Great Hall.
