Little evidence of Baynard’s Castle survives. A blue plaque, street name, multi-storey car park & an exceptionally ugly office building called Baynard House. Palace particularly associated with House of York, with Richard III proclaimed king there 1483 #baynardscastle #richardiii #greatfireoflondon

I had to pretty much climb in a flower bed to find the plaque commemorating Baynard’s Castle in London, close to its site near the Thames. The palace was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 #baynardscastle #londoncastle #greatfire #greatfireoflondon
