The Queen’s House, Greenwich

Designed by Indigo Jones, the great architect of the day, and a royal residence between 1616 and 1635, the Queens House in Greenwich now houses a magnificent art collection. Truth be told, it’s the type of art that I’m not much interested in, but still it was good to see.

My main reason to visit was the house it’s self. The hallway with it’s black and white tiled floor has featured in many a TV programme, but the main star of the show are the Tulip Stairs.

At the time they were installed they were the first un-supported stairs in the UK. Named after the pattern of the railings, which is of Tulip design. It’s the view of the spiral from below that I think is the beautiful image.
