Perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of central London, Hampton Court has something to please all the family.  There are two palaces to look round, Henry VIII's and William III's and the suite of Georgian rooms tell the tale of one of the most dysfunctional dynasties ever to take the throne of England.

People say that history is boring. Did you know that the spark that started the English civil war was a row between a husband and wife? Or that Henry VIII secretly married Anne Boleyn in the Whitehall Palace before he was officially divorced? And that many people consider the builder of Downing Street to be a scoundrel? The great buildings of London are here too, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the Westminster Abbey and we will talk about them. But we will also recall the human events that make us who we are and the story of a small island kingdom that became a global empire will be seen in these stones and buildings.

Even if you think you know their stories, these women are here to set the record straight. King Henry VIII had six wives that are easily remembered in a simple, popular rhyme: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. But Six, the new musical coming to Broadway is showing that these Tudor queens were so much more than that.

Henry VIII was a man of excess and he certainly did not do things by halves! On this tour with me (Sandy) you will wander through the enormous kitchens where feasts of nine courses were prepared for him and his noble guests to enjoy; you will be amazed at the exquisiteness of his tapestries which cost double the price of his favourite war ship to make. You might also be horrified by the story of Henry's expanding collection of wives and how, as desperation set in to find a son and heir, Henry took drastic measures! This tour will fill you in on Henry's life of excess: the size of his kitchens, the glamour of his furnishings, why he became so large, who his wives were and what happened to them all. But most of all, this is a chance to enjoy imagining the unimaginable: wealth and excess that knew no bounds resulting in one of the most magnificent courts in Europe!
