The location of the medieval Whitehall Palace lies to the north of the current Houses of Parliament on the west side of the River Thames. It occupied the land between Westminster Abbey, built by Edward the Confessor, and the city of London futher up the Thames to the north-east. In medieval times there were fields between the Abbey and the city and a road ran between the two. It was on this road that Hubert de Burgh purchased land from the Abbey and built himself a mansion.
