Skip the queues at London's Hampton Court Palace when you buy your ticket ahead of time.

The flamboyant Henry VIII is most associated with this majestic palace, which he extended and developed after acquiring it in the 1520s.

There is a designated Family Room at Hampton Court where parents and young children are invited to take a rest from the bustle of the palace! The play equipment includes a Duplo Lego table, an activity cube and various soft play shapes, all suitable for children under 5.

Family Trails which guide children around the palace are available at the Information Center.

At least 3 hours is recommended for your visit to Hampton Court.

Afternoon tea was invented by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford (1783-1857), one of Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting. In her day, the upper crust ate a huge breakfast, little lunch, and a very late dinner. Every afternoon, the duchess experienced a "sinking feeling." One afternoon she instructed her servants to serve tea and little cakes in her boudoir. The experience was so delightful that Anna repeated it every afternoon thereafter. Soon others followed the Duchess' lead, and in just a few decades the custom of "taking tea" in the afternoon had become well established.

At first the practice was limited to the upper classes, but it eventually became so popular that tea shops and tea-rooms began opening for the enjoyment of the general public. Join the experience and indulge in an assortment of finger sandwiches, traditional scones with clotted cream and preserves, and a selection of teas.
