I have loved the hedge maze at Hampton Court since I was a child and wanted to show my own daughter. We enjoyed listening to the guided tour of the palace, which was really well done. It was really special to watch a reenactment of lords and ladies' horseback games in the garden. The London Eye was definitely a highlight of our trip. The weather was beautiful and we could see for miles. We enjoyed the slow pace of the wheel and I felt safe and contained despite being scared of heights sometimes.

The transportation was very convenient, and the experience there was simply wonderful. We saw the beautiful castle and were just a little surprised at how small some of the rooms were and that some weren’t open to the public. But the view was truly an experience in itself. The two shows we got to see there were also great: the falconry demonstration and the jousting matches. If you felt like it, you could have taken a ride in the carriage as well. There were also food trucks and water dispensers on site, so there was always plenty of food and drink available.

Hampton Court Palace: Pure Royal Majesty A stunning, cinematic collision of two worlds: Henry VIII’s dramatic Tudor grandeur meets Sir Christopher Wren’s opulent Baroque elegance. The Highlights: The soaring Great Hall, the immersive Tudor Kitchens, and the world-famous garden maze. The Verdict: Breath-taking, theatrical, and absolutely historic. It isn't just a palace—it’s a time machine. An absolute triumph.

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.
