Here are the prices to enter the palace:
Hampton Court Palace is known as the home of Henry VIII and his six wives....
But Hampton Court Palace has lots more history to it's name.
Hampton Court Palace is the head office of Historic Royal Palaces and it is where I go for my meetings on access, in apartment 39 (not open to the public)
The Access Forum has been measuring the steps in each of the staircases at Hampton Court Palace, including the Kings Staircase, Queens Staircase etc.
We also measured the steps to see how high they were and what the surface was i.e. stone, cobbles, marble etc. This is to help us make sure that everyone who visits whether walking or in a wheelchair or scooter, can get around the palace as best as they can.
Now you can access the Young Henry VIII exhibiton Virtual Tour from home!

At Hampton Court Palace there are some lovely gardens and a rose garden that smells great when the flowers are out.
NB the gardens have wide paths (apart from the 20th century garden that has a narrow path) please note you have to pay to enter the formal gardens (summer only).
The paths are gravel, it may be hard for some people but not for others, I use a scooter that I own and the gravel is ok. Hampton Court Palace has scooters you can hire but on a first come first come basic. You can not take the hired scooters in the palace health and safety.
There is a land train that takes you round the garden on a 20 minute trip (£2.50p per trip)
The Land Train is going to be pulled by two Shire Horses,because the dust was getting into the palace.
The Land Train is accessible to wheelchair users now and is pulled by two shire horses.
