London Tourist Guide

Hampton Court Palace

This year is the year of the Garden at Hapton Court. This remarkable palace is one festival after another during the summer, the number of events is too long to list here, but includes: The Georigian Rooms, The Wolsey Rooms, Mantegnas Triumph of Ceasar, The Palace Gardens, Court Yard & Cloisters, the Kings Apartments, Henry VII's State Apartments, The Tudor Kitchens, and the Queen's State Apartments.
So much to see and do here makes this a hot spot for tourists, and being just outside London gives it a feeling of being in a country residence.

How to arrive:

By car The palace is located on the A308 and is well signposted from all the major local roads; drivers should follow the brown tourist attraction road signs. From the M25 take either exit 10 on to the A307 or exit 12 on to the A308. The palace is also accessible via the A3 and then the A309.
