We had a great visit to Hampton Court Palace. The first thing that attracted my attention was the maze. After about 15 minutes and a little help, we were able to get out of the maze. Then on to the palace. There were several people in period costumes with a lot of information which I found to be very interesting. The clock was also a favorite site. Great place. I can't wait to return.

We traveled from London by train without any problems and had no trouble getting to the palace. We toured its rooms and gardens—it’s simply wonderful; you can really feel the history there. For me, it was a thrilling experience; I’d wanted to visit for a long time. I loved it. The gardens are wonderful. The staff were charming, friendly, and always willing to help.

My wife & I had not visited for about 40 years, so enjoyed returning. Besides the 'usual exhibits', we were impressed by new exhibitions (Tudor Life etc) We were taking our sons in-laws, but one had to cancel an hour before entry time, due to a stomach upset How do I get a refund for that ticket?

Hampton Court Palace is truly beautiful, and its stunning gardens are also well worth a visit. The only downside I found was that I would have liked to see and learn more about Henry’s private life and less about the kitchens. Booking tickets online was quick and easy

Well set out experience and easy to get around with the audio. The history through story telling was a fun way to learn. The red coats were invaluable in helping me to find my way and to answer any questions that I had.

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.
