3,500.000 GBP vew - from the appartments on the left!
The old warehouse conversions are highly sought after - judging by the price! I would rather have a house boat.

The 15thc Great Hall at Eltham Palace
The Manor House was acquired by Edward II’s Queen, Isabella in c 1311, and she was responsible for strengthening and buttressing the c 1200 walls; Edward III developed the palace further and it became a royal favorite, throughout the 14 and 15 centuries. Little of this remains, but the Great Hall, rebuilt by Edward IV during the late 1500th century, after two earlier halls had been destroyed. Eltham is still a Crown property, but this jewel, hidden away by the suburbs of southeast London, is leased and managed by English Heritage. It has been used extensively in period dramas for film and television.

Osprey
I met this wonderful guy, Richard, on the la Chua trail this morning. He is caring for an osprey, who has a fungal infection of the lung; she is living in his house and he takes her for walks on Paynes Prairie. All the twitchers were out in the mist, looking for birds, but this one came down the track to meet me!
