hampton court palace

这是离Wimbledon 约 20分钟车程的城堡亨利八世与这城堡的渊源相当深从这城堡可以看出亨利八世,是个花钱花很凶的国王尤其是超美丽的花园,很难想像需要多少人力才可以完成与维持这是一般旅游团,比较少到的地方若是有空的话,可以去看看地铁票是可以与火车票通用的( Oyster Card)

很不错的旧王宫.可坐船从伦敦市区逆流而上,两岸风景秀丽,王宫气势非凡,花园精致整饬,不远处拱桥托云,蓝天净风,很不错.

我和妻子和其他43人一起旅行。我们对这个花园的大小、它的维护良好以及美丽留下了深刻印象。这里有一段历史了,巨大的葡萄藤让人印象深刻,美丽的植物和花也让人印象深刻。

宫殿非常大,所以还是穿上休闲鞋吧。建筑占据了很大的面积,有着非常美的花园,可以在那里闲逛,往下走还能到泰晤士河。我们没有请导游,也不知道是否有,不过因为我们还带着两个孩子,一个三岁,一个五岁,所以最好是能跟着导游走。建筑都非常壮观,观察这些年建筑可能发生的变化也是很有意思的。我更希望能看到更多的关于以前人们在宫殿的生活,但是这里的一切似乎都不是关于亨利,而是背后的人们的故事。有一个演员扮演亨利,不过演的不怎么好。而且看他的举止,不像是会回答任何历史问题的。我们在厨房吃了午饭,有很多不同的食物可供选择,非常不错。我还会再回来把这里全部参观完的。

几年前我去过这里,记得玩的很开心。这是让孩子了解历史很好的方式,我感觉花了几个小时在一个像是大迷宫的地方玩。

这是我们最喜欢的一个景点。建筑太漂亮太惊人了,花园也十分秀美,我们还看到安妮·博林的二侄女穿着那个特定时代的衣服,好惊艳啊。语音导游不可或缺,不难想象亨利八世在位时这里的繁华。厨房的配置叫人难以置信,一定还会找时间再来看看,没看尽兴。

在我发表评论之前,我想说的是我真的很喜欢亨利八世,以及围绕着他和他的宫廷的那些阴谋和争斗。我想来这儿参观已经想了很久了。我们的汉普顿宫之行一点都没令我们失望!我们带着两个孩子一起去的,一个6岁一个7岁。包括两个孩子,我们都觉得我们能在那儿待两天。我们观看的是亨利八世准备跟安妮离婚时候的故事。年轻的凯瑟琳霍华德和国王调情,霍华德女士支持这种行为,然而贫穷悲苦的托马斯卡尔培波一心想跟他的最爱凯瑟琳在一起。演员们真的很棒。亨利八世还邀请孩子们加入理事会去给他提供建议。我们准备离开的时候,凯瑟琳霍华德(最终终于跟孩子们说话了)身子探出窗户望向裹庭,再次跟孩子们说话了,希望他们回去的路上一路顺风。宫殿本身就令人震撼,花园也是。能置身于这样一个具有历史性的地方简直是不可思议。演员们很出色,更增加了我的乐趣。更赞的是,他们似的我的两个孩子提起了对历史的兴趣。地面上有咖啡餐厅,我们穿过马路到对面的Zizzis餐厅然后又回来了。这儿有很多吃饭的地方。从伦敦到汉普顿宫很方便。乘地铁到滑铁卢,然后坐到汉普顿宫的火车。你甚至可以用自己的悠游卡。这次旅行真的很值得。现在开始计划吧,至少要在那边待上一整天!

We visited for a full day travelling from London by underground which was easy and convenient . We bought our tickets on line which was cheaper than on the day. The castle was fascinating and well organised and the free audio guides very helpful. The Henry 8th part was great but so was the Georgian section . The maze was fun and the gardens great even on a very cold day in March. The cafe was very busy and a little expensive but the coffee and cakes were great. We would love to come back.

This was a special attraction laid on at Hampton Court Palace where there was a different floral arrangement in each room of William's apartments. I am sorry to say that both my friend and I found the arrangements only very average. A lot of the flowers were tired and past their best. Some of the colour combinations were awful, far too gawdy, and others were completely the opposite bordering on the funereal. We travelled to Hampton Court Palace on a Roadmark travel coach. The driver was excellent. My friend and I have both been to Hampton Court before so the reason for going was really just to see the flowers.If you want to see beautiful natural looking floral arrangements with flowers that have been grown in the gardens itself I recommend you go to Parham House near Pulborough, West Sussex. I have no doubt all involved in the floral arrangements at Hampton Court worked very hard but oh dear I was so disappointed..........

Me and my mum came here for the day with skills coach holidays the palace was really amazing and the gardens were beautiful as well really nice the palace is very big and their was a lot to see you can spend all day here the flowers that were in Williams apartments were stunning and beautifully displayed this is a must to see the only draw back was the café that we went in it was called the fountain café be aware of the prices and the afternoon tea that we had was £13.00 each very expensive you got 4 tiny what were supposed to be sandwiches and 1 tiny bakewell tart and a tiny chocolate cake and a tiny scone one of the staff came and took the sandwich plates away when we were still eating which I thought was very rude I would come to the palace again in the future also the ticket that we were given by our coach driver who went to the ticket office to get our group tickets for the whole coach said on it the tower of London I don't know why it said this because we were at Hampton court palace.

Well worthwhile. The palace is full of History and provides an excellent experience. Walking along the palace halls you can visualise just what is was like in Henry the eighth's time. Costumed tour guides and live dramatizations really bring history to life. The palace is well maintained and at times is like stepping into a time machine. So whether it's a history school trip or a full and enjoyable day out with family it is definitely a place you should visit. In spring and summer the grounds and gardens of the palace really come to life and I recommend visiting during those periods, because although the crowds increase and there are more tourists during the spring and summer periods, the advantage is that you can truly appreciate the gardens with their flowers, perfectly pruned plants and hedges, and wonderfully laid out grounds, ponds, fountains and other water features. This really magnifies the entire experience, whereas in winter it is still worth visiting the palace, yet you won't get the full impact of the gardens, and probably won't be as motivated to spend as much time there if it is cold. Oh but of course if you come to the palace in near Christmas, they have an open-air ice rink out front which is just another thing for you to try.Another tip, if you are here in summer, if you get time, then I recommend heading out of the lion gate by the maze and crossing over the road into Bushy Park, a huge royal park, which is beautiful and has herds of dear living inside, plus lakes, a big playground, woodland gardens, and miles and miles of walking.Hampton Court Palace should definitely be on your list of places to visit when you are in the area.

We went to Hampton Court Palace mid March 2015. Due to bad traffic unfortunately we didn't arrive till 1:30pm. However, after paying just under £20 per person, in addition to £1.50 per hour for the car we got into the Palace. We started the young Henry tour which was excellent unfortunately my partners audio guide didn't work so we had to share mine. Signage at the Palace is quite poor and we ended up outside the apartments and heading to the gardens. As the sun had come out we decided it was an opportune time to see the gardens. As we were walking out we were yelled at by one of the staff members for 'stealing' the audio guides! We calmly explained that we were visiting the gardens but would resume the tour as we had the kitchens and William's apartments to visit. Rather than explaining we weren't allowed to take them to the gardens she snatched them out of our hands. Oh well, everyone has a bad day we thought and off we went to view the gardens! As we walked round we saw that both the tennis courts and the maze were closed (3:30pm on a Saturday) so we went back to the palace to visit the areas we'd missed. Kitchens were great and the staff really knowledgeable. They really knew their stuff. As we went to William's apartments we were told the venue was closing and we had to leave, it was 4pm. It cost £50 for two people to see a third of the Palace. It's unacceptable to charge that much when a third of the Palace was closed. The organisers should consider a winter fee and summer one as we missed so much of the Palace but, for the cost, we won't be going back again!

As you'd expect from a royal palace, Hampton Court is incredibly grand. The building itself is massive and incredibly well maintained. The artefacts on exhibit are in excellent condition, and the costumed guides are wonderful. It definitely adds to the atmosphere when Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Cardinal Wolsey stride through the corridors.On this occasion I only saw part of the Tudor section of the palace as we were short of time and I would recommend arriving early and making a full day to make the most of your visit.The normal guides and guards were very helpful, well informed and pleasant.Visit included the Privy Kitchen Coffee Shop, which wasn't cheap (but as expected for stately home), but the food and drink were good quality and fresh. The coffee shop was clean and well presented and the staff were friendly and helpful.Highly recommended and I will return!

nice piece of history in the sumptuous halls of Hampton Court Palace on Thames banks. well organized with a good parking and beautiful gardens. very good place for kids as well. highly recommended.

My parents and i have visited Hampton Court on many occasions over the years and have enjoyed ourselves each time! We have a wonderful photo of my Dad and I in the maze which my Mum took when I was about seven years old. We were utterly lost as I recall! At the time, the hedges seemed so tall and the maze huge, but now of course, I have grown and the hedges do not seem so tall now, although the maze is still a lot of fun!You enter Hampton Court via Base Court and I never fail to be amazed at the beauty of the architecture. The red-brick and spiral chimney pots (probably not the technical term!) are stunning. The astronomical clock is worth a look as it tells not only the time, but the month and many other things besides. I cannot believe the Tudor carpenters managed to build such a beautiful palace with limited means!The Great Hall is awe-inspiring. On our visit, there were character actors performing various scenes throughout the day, showing us how a Tudor court functioned. We 'met' King Henry VIII and Anne Boylen as well as other key characters. They were fantastic and it really helped us to get a feel for the place. Make sure you visit the chapel and see the replica of King Henry VIII's crown. You can also see the portraits of Henry's wives which really give you an idea of what they would have looked like - although I do wish they had had cameras in that time so we could see what they really looked like! We were more interested in the Tudor exhibits and so enjoyed the Young Henry VIII exhibition, which showed some images of the young King and shed some light on a period of his life which does not get very much attention nowadays. We found the guides and volunteers to be friendly and helpful. While we enjoyed some hot drinks and a sandwich in one of the two atmospheric cafes on-site, I would say the refreshments were rather expensive. I think the admission prices are quite expensive and the cost would soon add up if you have a big family - and there is a charge for parking which I thought was quite cheeky! But then again, I would say if you have an interest in history and are able to spend the whole day there, it is worth it! The baroque palace is also interesting - you can actually see where the Tudor and baroque buildings meet, showing how architecture changed over the years! There were lots of other galleries to explore full of artwork and information on the Stuart era, although we did not spend much time there. The gardens are stunning and we had a good day out overall. There are lots of activities going on to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the palace and so it is well worth a visit!
