Hampton Court Palace – London’s royal palace with great garden
Hampton Court Palace was a residence for a royal family back in the 1520s. This is where King Henry VIII lived. There were very many people that live in the palace and it was fixed up with nice furnishing and tapestries that still remain in the palace today.
Tourists will be able to see the paintings and old-aged furnishing that have been left for the purpose of seeing how things were for those that occupied the Palace.
Some of the most important art in history resides here at this palace. It is known as the Royal Collection; most being the property of Queen Elizabeth II.
The artifacts and details of the art date back all the way from the 16th-18th century.
The grounds of the Hampton Court Palace include about 60 acres of beautiful scenery which is made up of mostly gardens that have over 300,000 flower buds every year.
There are about 40,000 plants that grow in the nursery; it’s a very beautiful scenery setting and it is much appreciated by those that are able to visit and see it for themselves.
Sir Christopher Wren destroyed the Tudor and built the Hampton Court Palace in the place of it during the year of 1689. It was custom built for King William III and Queen Mary II.
However, in 1760 the palace became the home of George III when he became King this year; he later abandoned it as his royal residence.
It still remains a great place for people to come and learn about the history of the palace and admire the wonderful architecture of the place.
