A Must-Visit Garden Palace in London! Hampton Court Palace 🏰

⛲️ If you're like me and enjoy visiting various gardens and parks, then don't miss Hampton Court Palace! It's not just a historical palace but also home to many enchanting and dreamy gardens～ 📕 The Past and Present of Hampton Court Palace Hampton Court Palace was originally the private mansion of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, and later it was taken over by Henry VIII, immediately upgrading the palace to a royal residence. Subsequent generations of kings continued to expand and renovate it. Touring here, every corner you turn feels like stepping into another world. Let's mainly talk about a few points that are exceptionally photogenic: 🌳 The Great Fountain Garden The Great Fountain Garden is most famous and photogenic for its pathways lined with hedges trimmed like mushrooms. Walking on the spacious paths, you're surrounded by meticulously trimmed branches and open green spaces. On a good day, sitting on the lawn, watching the passers-by, with two or three friends, you can easily capture great shots. 🌹 Rose Garden When visiting Hampton Court Palace, don't miss the Rose Garden outside the palace. Although the season of blooming roses has passed, it doesn't prevent it from being one of the most beautiful rose gardens in my heart. ⛲️ Privy Garden This was once the private garden of William III and is designed with exquisite detail, full of Baroque-style symmetry. There's just the right angle to capture the fountain and the palace in the same photo. 🪴 The Pond Gardens An ultra-secretive small garden where people can't enter, only peering through the shrubs outside the gate. It was once a Tudor-era herb garden and is now a poetic little garden. Modes of Transportation 🚂 Train: Depart from Waterloo, take the South Western Railway, and it's about a 40-minute journey to Hampton Court station. As soon as you get off, you can see Hampton Court Palace across the river. ⛴️ River Cruise: If the weather is good and you have enough time, strongly recommend taking a river cruise from Westminster, heading west along the Thames, basking in the sun, enjoying the breeze, admiring the beautiful scenery along the river, and you'll arrive at Hampton Court Palace~ #London #LondonPhotography #WeekendInLondon #UK #GreatBritain #SlowTravel #LondonEnvirons #Europe
