- St. George's Chapel: St George’s Chapel is a chapel located within Windsor Castle, England, and is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, a prestigious British chivalric order.

The chapel is the final resting place of many members of the royal family, including Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, and George V and Queen Mary. The chapel has also been the site of recent notable funerals, including those of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II. - Specially built for Queen Mary by leading British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 1920’s

Regularly used for ceremonial and official occasions, the Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection. During the winter months the richly decorated Semi-State Rooms are added to the visitor route.
- Hampton Court Palace: Hampton Court Palace is a story of two palaces: a Tudor palace magnificently developed by Cardinal Wolsey and later Henry VIII, alongside a Baroque palace built by William III and Mary II.
Henry VIII had more than 60 houses, but none were more important to him, nor more sumptuously decorated, than Hampton Court Palace.
