When You want a real Palace You want Hampton Court





The great palace complex of Hampton Court, home to the kings and queens of England (and later the United Kingdom) for more than three centuries.




Built as a palace with comfort and luxury as its hallmarks, Hampton Court continued to expand over the centuries.






























Stained glass windows of the highest quality proclaimed the power and glory of those who ruled from Hampton Court.




Henry VIII was the first king to live here, his visage has reminded countless generations of his power.



























The Royal Court of Arms of the House of Tudor.











Time and tides wait for no man, so the clock at Hampton Court tells both-the better for the royal family to travel the river to London Town.
