Hampton Court Palace

We took the tube to Waterloo station then a 30 minute train ride to Hampton Court. This is a view of the Palace after crossing the bridge over the Thames. Hampton Palace is a Palace that Cardinal Wolsely had built for himself during the reign of Henry VIII. It was later given to King Henry and was used for Kings and Queens thereafter.
There are extensive gardens at Hampton and this is a maze they had. There were only 3 dead ends and it wasn't too hard to get through. It's January but it has been mild weather and in some places of the gardens where it is sheltered, there were daffodils, crocuses and whatever this is.
Here is sooking at the Palace from the side viewing it from one of the main large gardens.

This is a huge arbor to the side of the palace. We have decided that we need to go back in the Spring or Summer when things are in bloom.
