Charlton House Greater London hotels:

Built between 1607 and 1612 by Sir Adam Newton, Charlton House is one of the finest specimens of Jacobean domestic architecture in the country. It illustrates a phase in the evolution of the English country house, linking the sprawling style of the Tudor age with the compact geometrical character associated with Inigo Jones. The original oak staircase remains, as do many fireplaces and plasterwork ceilings. The house overlooks Charlton Park and offers a wide variety of accommodation. The Grand Salon, the Long Gallery and the Old Library are suitable for marriage ceremonies, private functions and conferences. To the south-east of the house are two walled gardens which have recently been refurbished, and a formal vista.
