The public were eager for novelty, and applauded the gardeners’ effort to put the palace gardens in the forefront of fashion.

Hampton Court Palace was not originally intended as a royal residence. It was built by Thomas, Cardinal Wolsey, minister of Henry VIII and appropriated by the King when the former failed to bring about the King's divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The linenfold panelling in the room has been restored to its former glory, while the highly ornate ceiling bears Tudor roses and the Prince of Wales feathers, below the frieze can be seen Wolsey's motto, 'Dominus michi adjutor' (The Lord my helper). King Henry VIII used the palace regularly, enlarging and altering the building, which was designed around two courtyards.

Hampton Court Palace is best known as King Henry VIII's home but there's a lot more to this royal residence in London. South West Trains run services direct from London Waterloo to Hampton Court, and the journey takes only 35 minutes, resulting in a 200 meter walk across the bridge from the station to the palace. The train service passes through Wimbledon station, where the London Underground District Line begins, and Hampton Court is in Travel Zone 6.
