'In a courtyard overlooked by the windows of the Great Watching Chamber is a strange circular building dating from the 17th century. It once served as a kitchen and gave its name to the courtyard in which it is to be found today. William Kent, he of Chiswick House fame, turned it into a urinal in the 18th century. The Tudor Kitchens themselves were spared such an ignoble fate. Even though they were transformed into grace and favour apartment in the 18th century, their overall structural integrity survived allowing them to be restored to how they might have looked when they reverberated to the sound of King Henry VIII’s kitchen staff, not that he had ate their food as a rule. The king had his own separate kitchen in which his personal chef prepared meals for him.'
