About
Explore historic Hampton Court Palace and learn about the historical happenings, from the 16th century through to Georgian times and the present day.
Uncover Tudor treasures, glorious gardens and an iconic maze at this Grade I-listed royal palace on the banks of the river Thames, which is said to have been Henry VIII’s favourite residence.
What is there to see?
Experience the magnificence of the Tudor palace from the ornate Base Court, marvel at the lavishly decorated State Rooms and Apartments and see the sprawling Tudor kitchens that once produced more than 800 meals a day for the hungry household of Henry VIII.
Dare to walk the infamous Haunted Gallery lined with Tudor portraits, where the ghost of Catherine Howard, Henry VIII’s fifth wife, has been seen running its length.
Other palace highlights include the Great Hall, which is adorned with magnificent tapestries, the Chapel Royal, home to Anne Boleyn’s Book of Hours, and William III’s State Apartments.
After exploring the many fascinating areas of the palace, head outside to wander 60 acres (24 hectares) of stunning gardens, which have played host to many popular films and TV shows including Netflix’s Bridgerton. Don’t forget to try out your puzzling skills in the UK’s oldest surviving hedge maze, which has been testing visitors since 1700!
