Nearly ten years ago now, I visited the Tudor-style Hampton Court Palace in London, and I only just realised that I never posted about the visit. Hampton Court Palace is most famous for being Henry VIII's palace. It was built in the early 1500s for Thomas Wolsey, a friend of the king. It was then gifted to the king and became one of his favourite residences. The palace is open to visitors and is a major tourist attraction. It also hosts several events throughout the year, such as the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. The main attractions of the palace include expansive kitchens, a hedge maze, banquet or great hall with wooden vaulted ceilings, gardens, and the largest grapevine in the world, which has its own building. I visited with my parents, and we spent half a day here.
I enjoyed my visit, and I would like to visit the flower show that is held here as soon as things can get back to normality.
