About the Area for SilverDoor Serviced Apartments in Hampton Court

Hampton Court Palace is a former royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, south west London. The palace is located 11.7 miles (18.8 km) south west of Charing Cross and upstream of Central London on the River Thames.

Hampton Court is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. The palace's Home Park is the site of the annual Hampton Court Palace Festival and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. Along with St. James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many built by Henry VIII.

Hampton Court is the site of the world-famous Hedge Maze. Planted sometime between 1689 and 1695 by George London and Henry Wise for William III of Orange, it covers a third of an acre and contains half a mile of paths. It is possible that the current design replaced an earlier maze planted for Thomas Cardinal Wolsey. It was originally planted of hornbeam, although it has been repaired using many different types of hedge.
