Hampton Court Palace Entry Tickets with Maze & Gardens London

Why Hampton Court Palace belongs on every London itinerary

Hampton Court Palace was begun in 1514 by Cardinal Wolsey and taken over by Henry VIII, who made it the grandest palace in England; this ticket opens the Tudor state apartments, the Great Hall hung with Henry's tapestries, the vast Tudor kitchens and the Chapel Royal. At the end of the seventeenth century Sir Christopher Wren added a baroque palace for William III and Mary II, so two very different royal worlds stand side by side under one roof. The grounds run down to the Thames and include the formal gardens, the Great Vine planted in 1768, and the hedge maze planted around 1700, the oldest surviving hedge maze in Britain.

Hampton Court Palace sells out on ordinary weekdays, not only in August. That is why we ask for your date first and confirm the ticket in writing before you pay - so the visit is in your calendar, not on a waiting list.

Where to eat before and after

Plan a meal around it: London: afternoon tea, a Sunday roast in a pub, curry on Brick Lane and Borough Market street food. There is time built into the ticket for a break, and the guide will point you to the honest places rather than the tourist ones.

A practical tip from our London team

Tell us which airport and terminal - Heathrow alone has four in use - and the hotel's full postcode; London hotel names repeat across the city and the postcode sends the driver straight to the right street.

Specific to this ticket: Valid on the date booked; photo ID of the lead traveller required; reduced rates for children and seniors; wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Before you go: a short checklist

• Your Haqqi Tours confirmation on your phone, with the time slot and entrance
• An ID for each guest that matches the names on the booking
• A small bag only - large bags are refused or checked at the entrance
• The children's ages (child rate 3–11) - the attraction may ask
• Arrive ten minutes early; the group does not wait
• Our WhatsApp number saved - one message reaches the team on the day

Prices, children and how the booking panel works

Look at the panel on this page for the price: it lists the adult rate and the child rate with the ages that qualify. Children aged 3–11 take the child rate; infants below that age are usually free where the ticket allows a lap seat, and we confirm it case by case. What you see is the total; card, Apple Pay and the other methods on this site are accepted at no extra cost.

Entry is per person and per time slot; a group of any size can book together as long as the slot has space, which is why we ask for the date first.

Arriving by air? The Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door.

Best time to visit London

London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town.

Our team will tell you honestly if a date is likely to be crowded or if the weather calls for a change of plan.
