Illustration by Andrew Cadey

The Banqueting House, on Whitehall in the City of Westminster, central London, is the grandest and best-known survivor of the lost royal Palace of Whitehall.

Designed by Inigo Jones in a style influenced by Andrea Palladio, the Banqueting House is one of the first examples of the principles of Palladianism being applied to an English building. Begun in 1619 and completed in 1622, it cost £15,618.

The building’s exterior was originally more colourful than today, as it was made with alternating honey-coloured and pinkish-brown stone, with other decorative features in white Portland stone. Today the facade is a monochrome greyish-white, as it was partially refaced with Portland stone in 1774, and then entirely, in a large-scale restoration by John Soane, starting in 1829.
