My Favourite Place

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Eltham Palace (1x2)

Air date: May 15, 2008

Interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen travels to South London’s Eltham Palace. Originally built as a medieval palace and later serving as Henry VIII’s boyhood home, Eltham Palace was lovingly restored in the 1930s to become an ultra-modern party pad for the pre-war elite. Laurence expresses his admiration for its bizarre mixture of bespoke art deco and medieval magnificence.
