Charterhouse
I've taken tours here and been surprised every time. The range of history in one building — monastery to Elizabethan court to Victorian charity — is unmatched anywhere in the city.
A 14th-century Carthusian monastery, then Tudor mansion, then almshouse. It has been continuously occupied since 1371. A plague pit lies beneath the square.
