 Tour guide (Lady Spencer)
at Hampton Court. by ZanieOR
The gardens were beautiful, and we enjoyed getting lost in the maze and also seeing the oldest living grape vine (or was it the biggest?)
I started losing track of the different periods of history (the "new" part of the palace was built in the 1700s) again, but it didn't matter.
The crowds weren't bad at all, maybe because we made the outing on the queen's birthday and the hoardes were back in London.
I would highly recommend Hampton Court Palace (very photogenic as well as historic!) Leave a Comment

 hampton court palace by doug48 |
This is a stunning palace, of gigantic proportions.
The front entrance is really grand & regal looking, rooms & apartments inside are gorgeous, and the gardens are wonderfully maintained.
The long water is absolutely divine ! Leave a Comment

When I used to take my children/niece/nephew to London they all liked to go to Hampton Court, to the maze there.
It's an easy journey, just about 30 minutes by train and a very short walk to the palace.The castle is supposed to be haunted, but we've never seen any ghosts.
The gardens are wonderful, but the best part is the maze.Over three hundred years old, this is a real maze for adults, not an easy one where any adult can just look over the hedges. We always made sure we stayed together and had great fun trying to find the centre first and then trying to find the exit again. Even though I had been in there a few times, I still got completely lost again the next time I went. We encountered a few people who were afraid, surprisingly more adults than children. One poor woman was actually crying.
To celebrate your success of finding out again, you can go to one of the cafés in the park.
The tickets for palace,gardens and maze are not cheap, especially when you are several people in your group ,but there are also tickets for the maze only. Leave a Comment

visit the stately apartments of King Henry VIII, and enjoy 60 acres of riverside gardens (and the famous maze).
Look at Official Site for details.
Don't get it confused with Hampton Court Hertfordshire!
Hampton Court Palace is central to British History. Oliver Cromwell, Henry VIII, James I, Charles I ... all lived here. Leave a Comment

Great preserved architecture with furnished regal rooms and well maintained English gardens. It will give an idea what life was like in the English court.
You can visit the Palace, Maze, Formal Gardens, Informal Gardens, Home Park with different opening times and admissions.

 The Stately Hampton Court
Palace by Callavetta
Hampton Court was home away from home to the likes of Henry VIII (and a few unlucky wives) as well as William of Orange. Take tours guided by costumed experts to see Henry's quarters and those of William. Borrow the free CD player to take the "guided" tour of the Tudor Kitchens.
Wander around acres and acres of gardens. Stroll along the Thames. Get lost in the Maze. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the train from Waterloo, exit the station and the Palace is just to the right.
