Despite the Bank of England being his most renowned piece of architecture, one should not forgot the architectural reputation of the ‘Sir John Soane’s Museum.’ As stated in the Oxford Dictionary of Architecture, the museum is “one of the most complex, intricate, and ingenious series of interiors ever conceived.” Clearly, without Soane’s ‘ingenious’ and ‘complex’ use of top-lit galleries

Jones’s design for the Queens House was inspired by the works of Palladio and Palladian architecture and 15-16th century European architectural precedents, while also exploring the role the building played on the development of Neoclassical architecture on a wider scale. The Queens House represents the stylistic point of origin for the great imposing buildings surrounding Greenwich but also for Neo-Classical architecture in Britain more generally.
