🌷 Hampton Court Palace in Bloom – The Best Time to Visit! 👑

Just visited Hampton Court Palace during the Tulip Festival and honestly, it’s the perfect time to go. Thousands of tulips bursting into colour across the formal gardens — it’s like walking through a living painting. Absolutely gorgeous. The palace itself is steeped in history — once home to King Henry VIII, it’s full of stories, secret passages, and stunning Tudor and Baroque architecture. You can stroll through the Great Hall, the royal kitchens, and the famous maze… but in spring, the real showstopper is outside. The tulips are planted in perfect symmetry, flowing through courtyards, borders and fountains. Cameras don’t do it justice — it’s one of the most beautiful and peaceful ways to take in a bit of British history. Highly recommend timing your visit with the festival — the mix of history, flowers, and riverside charm is hard to beat. #hamptoncourtpalace #tulipfestival #springinlondon #historichomes #ukheritage #gardenlovers #royalhistory #hiddengemsuk #visitengland #tudorvibes #flowerseason #palaceinbloom #englishspring #cultureandnature
