The Privy Garden and the fountain. Walk them only if you are already inside. Next is Hampton Court Palace — do not also stack Kew Gardens the same day.
Analysis
Hampton Court Gardens is a walk, not a photo stop. Open with the palace. Gate hours and lawn hours differ. Be out toward Richmond before dark, and do not use the park as a shortcut into the next district.
Best time
Afternoon
How to go
Enter through the palace ticket hall
Transit
The park has no ticket gate. The station is Richmond. Leave before the last train, and do not cross the grass after dark.
Season window
Spring is blossom at Hampton Court Gardens, summer picnics are crowded, autumn light is the point, winter dusk is early. In rain stay on the paved main path.
Tips
- · Tickets: Included with the palace ticket. Plan about 40 minutes.
- · The paths are long; decide on the river walk after the maze
- · Lawns at Hampton Court Gardens can close at short notice. Dogs, bikes and picnics follow that day's notice. No large speakers.
