      I believe the Queens House wasn't built until 1540, four years after Anne Boleyn's execution so she never saw it. She was held in the Queens Lodgings, built by Henry which were in the private area over by the gardens which are now part of the New Armoury.

    1533 A.D. Your video shows Anne Boleyn taken to the Queen's House.
    According to current research & this book she instead was taken to the Royal Apartments:
    In the Footsteps of Anne Boleyn - The Tower of London
    by Sarah Morris & Natalie Grueninger
    The Royal Apartments-
    From Thursday 29 May to Saturday 31 May 1533 and from Tuesday 2 May to Friday 19 May 1536, Anne was accommodated in the queen’s lodgings, part of the royal apartments, which were situated in the south-east corner of the Tower. She was not, as a Victorian myth later propagated, accommodated during her imprisonment in the Queen’s House.
