Notes
The old Committee Rooms and service areas were located to the south of the Painted Chamber, with the new Scala Regia and Royal Gallery to the south and east. The irregular layout of the rooms and the thickness of the walls of, for example, the Servants' Hall are an indication of the age of the buildings.
