Hampton Court Palace (Henry VIII's magnificent Tudor palace), Bushy Park (one of London's finest royal parks with red deer herds), the Thames riverside, and a South West London community adjacent to one of England's greatest royal residences

Hampton Court Palace — begun by Cardinal Wolsey in 1515 and seized by Henry VIII — is one of England's finest Tudor buildings. The Great Hall, the Tudor kitchens and the maze are extraordinary. Bushy Park, with its chestnut avenue and red and fallow deer, is one of the royal parks least visited by tourists.

Hampton Court Palace is magnificent — the Tudor kitchens, the Great Hall and the maze are the highlights. Bushy Park at dawn for the red deer herds — extraordinary and rarely crowded. The Thames Path from Hampton for beautiful riverside walking.
