Blenheim Palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough.

Best known for its Royal Regatta held every July since 1839. For about a mile at Henley the river is straight providing an ideal course for what has become a major international event. It became ‘Royal' in 1851 when Prince Albert became Patron of the Regatta. As well as a sporting event it is a major social event retaining much of the ‘garden party' feel of Edwardian times. 

Many buildings in Henley are designated ‘of special architectural interest' including a 14th century chantry house, connected to the church and the Speakers house, the home of William Lenthall, Speaker of the House of Commons (1629-1640) who was a signatory to the warrant for the execution of Charles I. The main street has many Georgian frontages built on to older buildings. There are many coaching Inns including the Red Lion, which, so legend has it, has accommodated Charles I, Boswell and George III.
