today in London we're going to go to
Hampton Court Palace because we've
always been wanting to go here we're
obsessed with King Henry eight and his
Six Wives learned all about it watched
all the shows yeah it's a little crazy
[Music]
um but yeah this is the place where he
stayed with his wives the most it was
his favorite place and so it's about an
hour of total to get to Hampton Court
Palace yeah from like Central London
it's usually around an hour I would give
yourself an hour right now we're at
Waterloo Station where the Train the
southwestern railway from Waterloo goes
to Hampton Court Palace so we're just
waiting for our train before we go in
because we have to wait for them to call
out which platform it is because our
Train's at 9 36 and originally when we
were looking it said on time wait P one
through six so I didn't know what that
meant I thought it meant platform one
and then like line six or something but
candy went to go ask and they're like no
you actually have to wait until they
call the platform number they already
know what it was platforms three but
it's still saving like wait
once that wait time is over then they'll
announce on the boards what time your
platform or your train will be on what
platform so that was a little confusing
I wouldn't have gotten that if she
didn't ask they're explaining it's
saying wait because it'll be somewhere
in between one through six and when the
time arrives it'll tell you the exact
platform so it says
we're still waiting before we cross the
ticket lines there so as far as tickets
we actually didn't have to go to kiosk
to purchase a ticket or go to an
attendant window
because England is so convenient if you
have a contactless credit card on your
phone and if your card is wired not
wireless contactless then it will
automatically you just scan your phone
and it'll take your phone as a payment
so don't have to worry anything about
you know how much it's going to cost do
I have enough yeah where do I go
um yeah it's all just done easily like
seamlessly here yeah but it has to be
within the region too so Hampton Court
Palace was within the region where we
could still use a contactless card and
it was totally fine to do it that way
um and the cost I actually looked it up
it's going to be eight pounds one way so
if you're wanting to go from Central
London to Hampton Court Palace that's
how much you'll be paying yeah so like
your card should have something like
this on there it's like there's like a
sideways Wi-Fi Wi-Fi um uh what do you
call it icon oh yeah but I already have
registered this in my phone so I don't
even have to take the card out but you
can do it that way take your card is not
on your phone you can tap your car or
you can just use your phone
you got your your card ready on your
card ready
all I gotta do
bye
all right it's arriving right now
put on the train yes they just confirmed
that this is the Hampton Court Palace
train
[Music]
we are here
oh wow yeah
very lovely train ride that's way
different from our train ride we went to
Versailles that that's chaotic yeah
me too
Hampton Court
yeah all these kids are going to learn
about Hampton Court Palace today they're
gonna learn about how crazy one of their
teams were all right so we're here at
the Hampton Court Palace Station oh okay
so that is Hampton Court Palace the
distance over there and this river is
changed River
we actually use the bathroom at that
station and it was quite nice yeah
um you know they even have a hook for
you to hook your bags while you're using
the restroom the water was warm I've
never been to a public bathroom where
the water was warm everything was
contactless so you didn't have to touch
anything you get your hands dirty uh
yeah I highly recommend using that
toilet if you need to go so now we're
just kind of following this group
I think we just go around here and at
the at the palace so that's like a 10
minute walk so they did buy tickets
ahead of time
we bought them online uh just so we had
them and we didn't have to deal with any
lines when we got here not sure how
crowded it'll be there is like a good
amount of people going in right now but
again nothing crazy like first time or
The Loop so I'm not really worried about
it all right so here's the
entrance
there's like multiple field trips here
with the school kids I mean I feel like
there's more field trips than tourists
here right now all right so we made it
in it was very smooth just showed my
ticket they scanned it they're very nice
yeah no back check yeah you're right
yeah there's lots of helpful women up
front that will tell you where you want
to go what to do there are audio guys
that you can get you know where you can
listen I wish they had like a digital
guide that you can download on your
phone yeah accessibility yeah
and that worked out quite well so I was
hoping they would have something like
that here but they don't so anyway just
get your audio guide here at the shop
and if you don't know where it is the
guys up front will help you so yeah
we're gonna go explore now
[Music]
um
so it says Catherine of Aragon they
divorced but um it was King Henry VII's
first wife and they were married for
almost 24 years
so I'm guessing that's um Henry eighth's
longest marriage Anne Boleyn is probably
our favorite or probably the most known
but a lot of people know Anne William
because she was beheaded and you know
she kind of made King Henry the eighth
divorce his first wife which was like a
big No-No back in the day especially as
a royal and she is actually the mother
of Queen Elizabeth one this area here
was for the staff to eat and then every
once in a while the king and queen would
come and eat here too or to like
entertain these are the original
tapestries and they would show them off
when ambassadors of different countries
would come so they have like little
tidbits of info here where they say
exotic spices show off the wealth of
King Henry VII's cork
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
was used as an office and bedroom the
furniture and objects in this room are
all from the 16th century that's pretty
amazing okay so that is the portrait of
King Henry the eighth that you'll most
likely see all over the place because
that's the only one I think they have I
don't see any portraits of him like any
younger than this
and they said it probably looked worse
than this because they wanted to look
good in the portrait so they had to slim
him down probably he was probably older
this was his older brother King Henry
hates white first wife it was actually
his older brother's first wife but
Arthur passed away early and ended up
that King Henry 8 became king and they
kind of convinced him to marry Catherine
of Aragon
[Music]
so in the end Henry eight died on 28th
of January 1547. all three of his
children ruled England in turn as Edward
six Mary one and Elizabeth won
and as the Tudor dynasty survived over
100 years
[Music]
all right so we just got done with uh
touring the palace itself inside and
lots of interesting information all the
stuff that we learned about King Henry
eight and his wives were all in there so
we got to see where they lived what they
did what each room meant so it was
really cool to see and now we're
actually taking a break outside in the
garden actually everybody is it's
actually what time is it at 12 30. it's
lunch so it's lunch time it's perfect
um so make sure you bring some snacks uh
I think they do have like a cafe or
something but um who knows if the wines
are long or if it's limited but I I have
a little mini baguette that I grabbed
from breakfast yeah I'm gonna eat this
and I think Crystal brought some like a
granola bar so yeah we're just gonna
chill I love these trees out here yeah
and this Garden is beautiful so once
you're done with the palace inside you
can come out here and enjoy this lovely
view just chill relax do some cartwheels
like those children are
foreign
[Music]
tour at Hampton Court Palace uh I think
it was like pretty much what I imagined
it would be when I'm finished I figured
it'd be better on that size
um I was actually surprised the only
thing that surprised me was that
surprised me was that it wasn't as
crowded as I thought it was going to be
yeah so it's very relaxing yeah we got
to learn all about King Henry VIII and
um yeah since we're so fascinated with
that time period which is yeah yeah it
was just kind of fun to go through each
room and see what it was like back then
I guess there's some places to eat
around here if you want to have lunch
yeah there's actually a bunch of little
shops around here by the train station
so I'm sure you go find something to eat
here if you're hungry
um but there is also a cafe at the
palace too I'm not sure what they had
but they do have some things so that if
you're hungry you can grab something to
eat there as well
um total time that we spent there was
about two hours so now we're at the
Hampton Court station and we're waiting
for what time this is a train 24 I think
124 so we have about 10 more minutes
until the train arrives and it'll be 30
minutes to Waterloo
and then we'll be back in central London
