Last weekend on one of my breaks I had the use of the car…..since I’m working tantalisingly near to Hampton Court Palace, I simply had to visit. It really is my absolute favourite palace in London and despite having visited dozens of times in the last 5 years, I never get tired of another.
how can you fail to be impressed
It gives me a thrill to walk through the halls and along passageways where people like Wolsey, Cromwell, Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, George I to name but a few of history’s famous and notorious characters walked centuries before.
in the footsteps of history…
the first thing you see as you enter through the main gate
Base Court
the magnificent ceiling above The Queen’s Staircase
Yeoman Warders uniforms
fine dining with the Georgians
exquisite fashions of the Georgians
the ceiling of Queen Caroline’s State Bedchamber
Fountain Court; the Tudor Palace peeks above the Georgian Palace built by Christopher Wren
The Moat. I remember a couple of years ago when we had those terrible floods, the moat was full of water. It looked quite amazing actually.
Hampton Court Palace is a treasure house.
Very cool!
