Charterhouse

Shot with Olympus E620
Charterhouse is an amazingly well hidden corner of London that few venture into, especially considering how stuffed it is with history. Charterhouse (from the Chartreuse monks) history stretches back to the 14th century, and this site saw the birth of one of England's oldest Public Schools (those are the private ones) and the deaths of thousands - it was the largest plague pit in London. There are other Tudor houses in London, but I'd venture few in such a secluded spot.
