Hampton Court was the one palace I chose to explore during my month in England. The history of Henry 8th came alive within the palace. Pictures and stories of his brides, enable to enter their lives, in see the beauty that surrounded them. As a Canadian, hearing the history and seeing how the servants works to serve was humbling.

A truly amazing day. It was easy from start to finish. The audio guides were really good, it is difficulty to choose the most special memory, but the Great Hall was very impressive. The entire experience more than exceeded our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole period of our visit.

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.

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

Select timed entry to organise your day around a set arrival time, or anytime entry for greater freedom to plan your palace visit.

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.
