Hampton Court Palace & Gardens
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city on a visit to Hampton Court Palace and its beautiful gardens.
Explore the grand estate that was once home to Henry VIII and hear stories of the famous king’s visits. If you’re lucky you may even see the man himself!
Guided tours (available seasonally) are included with your Hampton Court tickets, during which the Palace’s costumed guides will fill you in on the latest Tudor gossip!
Visit England’s greatest medieval hall, one of its oldest theatres - where William Shakespeare’s company performed - and experience the sights and smells of a real Tudor Kitchen.
Hampton Court Gardens
These stunning gardens reach as far as the banks of the River Thames, full of sparkling fountains and thousands of brilliant flowers.
Challenge yourself to find the centre of Hampton Court Palace Maze - known as ‘the most famous maze in the history of the world’.
See the biggest grape vine in the world, which has been producing yearly crops since it was planted in 1768! Visit during early September and you may get to buy some of the grapes for yourself.
Take a relaxing stroll through 700 acres of deer park, where you’ll have beautiful views across the gardens and palace.
