Not a lot to see, but what you do, is a piece of real history. Easily missed. No entry fee. Just by the road. Beautiful rose window.

Very historic. Winchester Palace was once one of the largest and most important buildings in all of medieval London. Built in the early 13th century as a home to the powerful Bishops of Winchester, the palace was mostly destroyed by fire in 1814. Today visitors can see the impressive architecture of the remaining walls of the Great Hall, including a magnificent rose window that adorns the west gable. Winchester Palace is managed by Bankside Open Spaces Trust, which has planted a medieval-style garden in the remains of the Great Hall. The rest of the palace was arranged around two courtyards, and housed many buildings, including a prison, brew-house and butchery. As the bishop’s private retreat from the stresses of medieval governance, the palace also had a tennis court, bowling alley and pleasure gardens. The palace remained in use until the 17th century, when it was divided into tenements and warehouses.

Founded in the 12th century by Bishop Henry of Blois, brother of King Stephen, Winchester Palace was built to house the bishops in comfort when staying in London on royal or administrative business. The remains were part of the great hall, which formally stood alongside the south bank of the Thames. The gable wall of the hall has doors which led to the buttery, pantry and kitchen, and it has a magnificent rose window. Below the hall was a vaulted cellar, where goods such as wine could be stored, with a passage to the river wharf. The hall would have been lavishly decorated, and was often used to entertain royal guests, such as James I of Scotland and Joan Beaufort, who held their wedding feast here in 1424.

What remains standing invites us to imagine a beautiful stone castle with doors and windows of that time. There is a plaque on the side with the detailed explanation of what this place was.

Lo que queda en pie nos invita a imaginar un hermoso castillo de piedra con puertas y ventanas de aquella época. Hay una placa a un costado con la explicación a detalle de lo que fue este lugar.

A really beautiful spot. Winchester Palace was once one of the largest and most important buildings in all of medieval London. Built in the early 13th century as a home to the powerful Bishops of Winchester, the palace was mostly destroyed by fire in 1814. Today visitors can see the impressive architecture of the remaining walls of the Great Hall, including a magnificent rose window that adorns the west gable.

Not much remains of the original Winchester palace apart from one wall with a rose window in was used to be the great hall. The medieval palace was destroyed by a fire although before the fire was already divided into warehouses and tenements. It was home to the bishops of Winchester. There is a small garden in the remaining of the hall.

Founded in the 12th century by bishop Henry de Blois parts of the great hall can still be seen today

Just walking around London we come across very interesting historical points of interest such as this. Modern London appears to be a reasonably good job of saving those when they are uncovered. Here is the Great Hall of the Bishops of Winchester, founded 12 century and appears to have started construction of the building 13th century. That’s the same general timeframe of when the Southwark cathedral was rebuilt after the London fire of 1212.

Winchester Palace was a 12th-century palace which served as the London townhouse of the Bishops of Winchester. It was located in the parish of Southwark in Surrey, on the south bank of the River Thames (opposite the City of London) on what is now Clink Street in the London Borough of Southwark, near St Saviour's Church which later became Southwark Cathedral. Grade II listed remains of the demolished palace survive on the site today, designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument, under the care of English Heritage.

A piece of wall in the middle of busy London, surrounded and dwarfed by buildings so you actually can't see it that clearly from away. Only knew it as it's part of the English Heritage. Not worth going there just for the ruined palace but if you are around the globe theatre and have time you should take a quick look

Free remains of Winchester Palace, a London base for the Bishops of Winchester until a fire destroyed it in the 1800s.

(Translated by Google) Walking along the Southbank between Southwark Bridge and London Bridge it is possible to meet the picturesque remains of what in the 12th century was one of the largest and most important buildings in London. The cities linked to ceremonial or administrative events were built by Bishop Henry de Biois for his stays. The main facade extended along the bank of the Thames and over time it was also equipped with a tennis court, bowling alley and relaxing gardens. The visible remains are those of the large reception hall which hosted the royal wedding in the 15th century. The building remained in operation until the seventeenth century, was then partitioned and used in part as a warehouse until the decline and disappearance. The current recovery began in 1980 during the redevelopment works of the area. (Original) Passeggiando lungo il Southbank fra il Southwark Bridge e il London Bridge è possibile incontrare i pittoreschi resti di quello che nel 12 secolo era uno dei più grandi e importanti edifici di Londra. Fu fatto edificare dal vescovo Henry de Biois per i suoi soggiorni i città legati a vicende cerimoniali o amministrative. La facciata principale si estendeva lungo la sponda del Tamigi e nel tempo venne dotato anche di campo da tennis, pista da bowling e giardini rilassanti. I resti visibili sono quelli del grande salone dei ricevimenti che ospitò nel XV secolo nozze reali. L'edificio rimase in attività fino al XVII secolo, fu poi partizionato e utilizzato in parte come magazzino fino al declino e scomparsa. L'attuale recupero è iniziato nel 1980 durante opere di riqualificazione dell'area.

Surprising gem

(Translated by Google) These ruins of what was a magnificent palace are located in the municipality of Southwark, on the right bank of the Thames, very close to the river and the cathedral. Built in the early 13th century to serve as a residence for the bishops of Winchester, it was one of the most important and grandiose buildings in medieval London. In 1814 a fire destroyed it almost in its entirety, and today the only thing that remains standing can be seen: the west pediment, which still preserves a large rose window, and remains of the walls of the Great Hall, inside which a garden has been planted. in medieval style. The ruins are visible from the outside at any time, their access to the internal area being prohibited. (Original) Estas ruinas de lo que fue un magnífico palacio se encuentran en el municipio de Southwark, en la margen derecha del Támesis, muy cercanas al río y a la catedral. Construido a principios del siglo XIII para servir de residencia a los obispos de Winchester, constituyó uno de los edificios más importantes y grandiosos del Londres medieval. En 1814 un incendio lo destruyó casi en su totalidad, pudiendo contemplar hoy día lo único que quedó en pie: el frontón oeste, que aún conserva un gran rosetón, y restos de las paredes del Gran Salón, en cuyo interior se ha plantado un jardín de estilo medieval. Las ruinas son visibles desde el exterior a cualquier hora, estando prohibido su acceso a la zona interna.

To pass by when going from Shakespeare's globe to borough market. My walk started in st Paul's cathedral, millennium bridge and then this street with beautiful treasures.

Awesome place

Not much left now. Only part of the wall and windows. Interesting though...

It’s a wall of Winchester Palace, there is a plank with some information on the side. Not much to see. But it has a lovely rose window that you can see. There’s a little garden inside as well. It’s a lovely bit of old London in the middle of new London. Free to see, so if you’re passing you might as well see it. It looks amazing at night when it’s all lit up!

It's not large or massive in a small place you will find the history and great place to visit with family and kinds. It's word to spend time here. Really beautiful place

Not a huge amount to see, but it was quite interesting to stumble upon while walking around London. Really only one wall of the palace remains. Neat to see and has a plaque with a bit of information about the history of the place. If you're in the area for something else, it's worth checking out!

It was very enlightening to learn about the history of this landmark as well as the related historical events.

All that remains of the Palace of Winchester is the west wall of the 14th Century Great Hall with its rose window tracery. The Palace was the London home of the Bishops of Winchester from 1109 to 1626. In 1642 the palace was converted into a prison for Civil War Royalists.

Its a place I talk about on my walks

Great to view while enjoying a coffee right next to the structure

Castle which has the King Aurther's round table

Basic cafe breakfast

Ruins of Winchester palace, worth a look at after seeing the Golden Hind, Southwark cathedral or the Borough market

They have renovated so it looks like this now:

I love history so seeing a part of it is amazing

Interesting piece of history. I just passed by and wondered what this piece of architecture was. That's where I read that it was the largest building back in the days, which included homes and prison.

It was nice to see this little bit of building preserved for our younger generations to experience. Came across it by accident

Small beautiful ruins of a church where gardens have been.

Quaint ruin near the Borough Market area. It was a particular ruin that caught my attention

A nice area at the back of borough market

It's a place that will put someone's imagination to work because the place is one tall what's left from a gradious building. It is very well maintained. Definitely, you should visit it.

Interesting place to visit. Quite touristy, but definitely something you should try to go to at least once.

Very well restored Rose Window in the remains of this 12th century palace. Always a nice surprise to discover this as you're walking to or from London Bridge. The Golden Hinde just around the corner.

Fascinating place, not really with regard to the ruin itself (although the remaining wall, tracery and Windows are magnificent and give some impression of what it used to be) but for the sheer depth of history in which the whole area is steeped. It is necessary to link the power of the Church, the See of Winchester, discipline and The Clink, William of Wykham (and his influence on New College Oxford, Winchester and "good manners") and commerce. I imagine the place as a kind of downstream Lambeth Palace, with two of the most powerful men in the Church competing for influence, prestige and grandeur. But please don't just walk past and think, yeah, boring ruins. Think about the history and context.

Always good to see a piece of history in one's city. A shame it's only a small part of what existed before.

If you enjoy architectural details of ruins this is one of the places to visit but is not worth the trip unless you want to go to the Borough market, walk around the river and have more than just one plan. It is a beautiful facade but nothing more than that.

Interesting.

Was ok, just an old wall. Didn't realise till I got there. Wouldn't go out of your way to see it, but if your nearby check it out, a piece of history preserved.
