In fact, this room is just theatre.
The canopy has echoes of a medieval lord's Great Hall.
Dotted around are chairs from previous coronations,
each one belonging to a different monarch.
And then framing the whole thing
is this fabulously ornate arch,
complete with winged Victories holding up swags and medallions.
It's like something you might find framing a West End stage.
Today, it's hard to imagine this spot as it was 500 years ago.
Back then, it was no more than a quiet backwater,
regularly flooded by a river, now long forgotten, the Tyburn River.
Hidden deep beneath the crowded streets, the river still flows.
