Interior

Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge is a Grade II* listed former hunting lodge, now a museum, on the edge of Epping Forest, at 8 Rangers Road, Chingford, London E4,^[1] in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, near Greater London's boundary with Essex.

History[]

In 1542, Henry VIII commissioned the building, then known as Great Standing, from which to view the deer chase at Chingford; it was completed in 1543.^[2] The building was renovated in 1589 for Queen Elizabeth I. The former lodge, now a three-storey building, has been extensively restored^[1] and is now a museum, which has been managed by the City of London Corporation since 1960.^[2] Admission is free.

There is a smaller hunting lodge, "The Little Standing", about a mile away in Loughton, part of the Warren, the Epping Forest HQ.
