I said good, not loved it. Liked the new Tudor rooms. Thought it was expensive as my 14 year old not interested in the Secret Garden as too old and have been in the Palace many times. Pity not tickets for garden only.

The parking was very close by, just across a field, and as soon as you enter the palace, you scan your tickets and begin walking around. I was there for many hours, and it was absolutely wonderful, I still haven't seen everything! I also made a stop at the cafe, and I highly recommend the cheese and ham toastie they served us, with cheese on top and inside, along with many sides like fresh coleslaw, mushrooms, and lettuce; it was delicious! I already want to go back!

Your experience

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.
