Your Experience
Discover Hampton Court Palace
Your journey begins at a fascinating Tudor Palace, originally commissioned by Cardinal Wolsey and later expanded by Henry VIII. Situated beside the Baroque Palace erected during William III and Mary II’s reign, you'll step into the King's apartments as one of his courtiers, clad in a Tudor cloak. Explore vast kitchens where feasts for over 1000 guests were prepared, then turn right past the wine cellar to reach Chapel Royal—the former royal chapel (Royal Pew) that remains an active place of worship.
Explore the inner workings of a Tudor palace
Your exploration continues through William III’s State Apartments, featuring the Guard Chamber, Presence Chamber, Privy Chamber, and Great Bedchamber. Next, you'll wander 60 acres of stunning gardens stretching to the Thames River. These gardens boast the world's oldest maze (covering one-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 globally. The Gardens are adorned with spectacular fountains and seasonal displays featuring thousands of blooming flowers.
