The execution of King Charles I, by unknown artist: "The most abhorrent outrageous execution, performed on the most serene and most grandly powerful Carl Stuart, king in Great Britain, France and Ireland etc. in London before Whitehall Palace, Tuesday 30 January [Julian] / 9 February [Gregorian] in the year 1649, between 2 and 3 pm." (c.1649). Held by the National Portrait Gallery.

Photograph of King Henry the VIII's Wine Cellar underneath the Ministry of Defence Main Building, Whitehall. It is a fine example of a Tudor brick-vaulted roof and is some 70 feet (21.3 m) long and 30 feet (9.1 m) wide and was the only part of the original Whitehall Palace to survive a disastrous fire in the 17th century. Taken on 12 November 2009 by Amanda Reynolds.
