Hampton Court Palace

Overview

This magnificent Tudor palace looks like it was plucked from the pages of a storybook. Hampton Court was Henry VIII’s favourite royal hangout, and it was lavishly decorated by two luxury-loving kings, so you can expect priceless paintings, fine tapestries and gold just about everywhere. There are even a couple of resident ghosts to look out for as you’re touring the haunted rooms.

Explore the private royal apartments, the chapel, and the Tudor kitchens which were built to feed over 1,000 court staff. See a replica of Henry VIII’s crown in the Royal Pew and step into the Great Hall where some of Shakespeare’s plays were performed for the first time. Once you’ve explored the palace interiors, head outside to enjoy the impressive manicured gardens and get lost in the world-famous hedge maze.
