Overview of your London tour:

I will show you why this is a favourite palace of mine and was a favourite palace of King Henry VIII for a time, even though he had many palaces to choose from! Some of the buildings are 500 years old. Some are younger: redesigned by clever architect Sir Christopher Wren. And there are spectacular mural paintings by Antonio Verrio. Our tour will include the huge Tudor kitchens to feed a Royal entourage, formal gardens which have been spectacularly replanted from early design drawings and we will view the art collection. You may want to visit the Palace's famous Maze, or watch players enjoying the complicated game of Royal Tennis on the court here. As I have played myself, although of course not as well as King Henry VIII did, I can explain the game! I promise you an exceptionally interesting tour as I have known the Palace since childhood, being born nearby.
