Greenwich: Queen's House, Tulip Stairs
The Tulip Stairs in the Queen's House is said to be the first geometric self-supporting 'spiral' stair in Britain. (Technically helical rather than spiral, see: thestaircaseexperts.wordpress.com/2013/10/31/the-differen... .)
The house is of architectural importance as England’s first classical building, finished in 1638, designed by Inigo Jones in a pure classical style.
