Hampton Palace was originally built in the early 16th century, and soon after it was built, it was occupied by the deviant Henry VIII, the wind of the Tudor dynasty. The representativeness of the palace, the interestingness of the story, I think is no less than Windsor, the Tower of London.
Hampton Palace is relatively remote, so there are not many tourists, but it is worth visiting. Compared with Buckingham Palace, there are more imprints of the life of ancient emperors. It seems interesting. Some rooms are very creative and can be visited for two or three hours without a voice guide. The backyard here is super large and the trees are trimmed like fairy tales. It's very beautiful.
