Entry was easy and tickets got us into the palace and gardens. Some parts of the palace were closed, but we spent about 4 hours exploring the buildings and the grounds. The purchase was easy and we had a great time.

A great day out. We had the audio tour which was really interesting. The time went so fast we didn't get to see everything and will go back. The palace was good value for money although the cafe was quite expensive

Exceeded our expectations- we couldn't see it all in one visit. I highly recommend taking the train to the palace and the river cruise along the Thames (3 hrs) back to London.

The tour of Hampton Court Palace was one of the highlights of my stay in London. I especially appreciated the fact that there’s so much more to explore than just the palace itself: the royal apartments, the magnificent gardens, the cobblestone courtyards, and the many spaces steeped in history offer a truly comprehensive experience. I loved strolling through the gardens along the Thames and exploring the less-visited parts of the grounds, far from the tourist hustle and bustle of central London. The famous maze is also a must-see and great fun. Be sure to set aside plenty of time. The grounds are vast, and you’ll need several hours to fully enjoy the palace and gardens. I highly recommend this visit to anyone who wants to explore an iconic site of English history in a magnificent setting.

Parking nearby in the Green Carpark was so easy and wonderfully located 10 mins walk. Entrance to the Hampton Court Palace was so easy. The rooms are excellently laid out. An information board is available in each room. We spent 3 1/2 hours looking around then went for a lunch in one of the restaurants. The food was very nice. We then had another 2 hours looking around. So a fantastic day out.

The ticketing and payment process is very convenient; you can book your tickets for the date and time you want right away without any trouble. Scanning your ticket at the palace entrance is just as convenient and quick. I’m so glad I used this site. Thank you.

Hampton Court Palace isn't just a visit – it's an immersion into centuries of royal history, architectural splendor, and horticultural mastery.

Pay a visit to the State Apartments of Henry VIII, discover the Great Chamber lined with Thomas Wolsey’s tapestries, and learn about the battle for power at the Tudor Court.

Be amazed by the spectacular interiors of the Chapel Royal, which has been in use for over 450 years and continues to remain an active place of worship.

The famous Hampton Court Maze, the oldest surviving hedge maze in the world, offers a delightful challenge for visitors of all ages.

Did you know: Originally conceived as a grand residence for Cardinal Wolsey, the palace was gifted to Henry VIII when he became enamored with its beauty.

Discover Hampton Court Palace

What awaits you is a spell-binding Tudor Palace, initially developed by Cardinal Wolsey and later by Henry VIII, positioned next to a Baroque Palace constructed during the reign of William III and Mary III. You’ll be visiting the King’s apartments in the role of one of his courtiers, donning a Tudor cloak and making your way to the enormous kitchens which was where banquets for over 1000 guests were prepared. A right turn past the wine cellar will get you to Chapel Royal, the former seat of the monarch and his companions (Royal Pew), and a still-active place of worship.

Explore the inner workings of a Tudor palace

You’ll also make your way to William III’s State Apartments comprising of the Guard Chamber, the Presence Chamber, the Privy Chamber, and the Great Bedchamber. Up next is 60 acres of beautiful gardens running all the way down to the Thames River. These gardens are home to the world’s oldest maze (spanning a third of an acre), three National Plant Collections (Heliotropium ‘Cherry Pie Plant’, Lantana 'American shrub verbena', Queen Mary II Exoticks), and the largest Grape Vine in the world. The Gardens feature dazzling fountains along with seasonal displays of thousands of blooming flower buds.
