For a truly Grand Day Out why not visit a Royal Palace and
discover how our (in)famous monarchy used to live!
Have a right royal time at London's world-famous landmarks
We all know about England's famous Kings and Queens of old - but
how much do we really know? Maybe its time to
revisit the amazing heritage that's right on our doorstep, and
discover tales of pageantry, bravery, love… and perhaps even a
little treachery along the way!
Some of the most famous Kings and Queens of England resided in
stylish Kensington
Palace. With its finery and finesse, it's quite a
spectacle - and its sunken gardens are welcome relief from the
hustle and bustle of the city. Bursting with stories, from William
and Mary to the death of Princess Di, it's a fascinating and
beautiful place to visit (but just around the corner from one
London's swankiest shopping streets!).
Perhaps even more resplendent, the wonderful, sprawling Hampton Court was the
favourite home of one of our most famous - or infamous monarchs,
King Henry VIII. The buildings, grounds and its many exhibitions
are great to explore, and what's especially enjoyable is the world
famous Hampton Court Maze - it's a good idea to double check that
you've got your phone with you before you enter, so you can let
people know if you get lost!
The Yeoman guards who work there are full of terrifying tales
about The Tower of
London which they're only too happy to tell you as
they show you around this magnificent symbol of London that's
positively dripping with horrible history. The crown jewels may be
under armed guard but they'll happily let you look at them,
although, as with the notorious Ravens who also reside there - just
don't try to touch them!
