Organisation Background:
An 18th century palace fit for a 21st century city The Neoclassical palace that stands today between the bustle of The Strand and the sweep of the river occupies the same site as the original Somerset House, an imposing mansion built in 1547 by Edward Seymour, 'Protector Somerset' to the Tudor King Edward VI. Following his downfall, Seymour's monument to his wealth and power became royal property, serving as a residence to the Queens of England from Elizabeth I to Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II.
