Dear Kellie,


I've already been to Crosby Hall, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and St. Helen's Bishopsgate. Are there any other locales associated with Richard that are either in London or not too far away?


I think you have exhausted most of the ones in Central London that can be surely associated with Richard. There is, of course, the College of Arms, which was enchartered by Richard, though the building is much later than him.

There is also Eltham Palace, which is south-east London, which is where Edward IV (and Henry VIII) lived. Edward was responsible for building the great hall and there is glass (Victorian or later) depicting him.

An hour and a half on the train takes one to Canterbury and the cathedral.

I hope this helps.

Phil
