Sjalen Says: The gardens here are huge - 60 acres to be precise - and the Home Park stretch along the Thames so you see the grounds for ages before actually arriving if you come by boat. This is also where you find the famous deer, descendants to those introduced by Henry VIII. In...
Sjalen Says: Hampton Court is famous all over the World for its maze which people get lost in. I must admit to doing this myself even if it seemed so simple once you entered :))) A great thing to experience for a VT member always thinking we know where we are when travelling. A definate...

Sjalen Says: The royals always came to Hampton Court by boat since this was simply the easiest way in their days when roads were awful and sometimes dangerous. You can go here by boat from London's Westminster Pier or from Richmond and Kingston-upon-Thames. Going here all the way from...
Sjalen Says: Be prepared for a choice of tickets as you can pay for the gardens only, or for palace AND gardens. There is also a "Combination ticket" giving you the chance to save 25% on visits to Kensington Palace and the Tower of London.
