There are over 60 acres of gardens to explore at Hampton Court including the Maze, the Great Vine and the recently restored Privy Garden.

Shown today as they were in 1737 during the final visit of the royal court the Georgian Rooms present a more relaxed, informal and domestic side of palace life.

Every day there are free tours and presentations by costumed guides in the State Apartments. Learn about life at court and the colourful characters who lived here.

The fascinating but more practical side of royal life is represented at Hampton Court by the enormous Tudor Kitchens, the most extensive surviving 16th-century kitchens in Europe.
