BUSHY PARK
Bushy Park
belongs to the Queen and extends over about 450 hectares and
is home to freely roaming deer. One beautiful feature is
Chestnut Avenue, a grand avenue of horse-chestnut trees
close to the road and lime trees further out. This dates
from the 1690s, and was part of Christopher Wren's plan for
an aggrandizement of Hampton Court Palace. The avenue is a
well used component of the suburban road system, but somehow
this doesn't spoil the park when cars are creeping along,
their drivers wary of both deer and radar.
Hard to imagine
a half-century later, but SHAEF was based in Bushy Park from
1944, and Eisenhower planned Operation Overlord from here.

HAMPTON COURT PALACE
One of the most
famous local attractions is Hampton Court Palace with its 500 years of royal history. Set in sixty acres of world famous gardens the Palace is a living tapestry of history from Henry VIII to George II. From the elegance of the recently restored eighteenth century Privy Garden to the domestic reality of the Tudor Kitchens visitors are taken back through the centuries to experience the Palace as it was when royalty was in residence.
Costumed guides and audio tours provide inside information on the life in the royal households and free family trails encourage a closer look at the Palace, with the chance of a prize at the end. In the summer months horse-drawn carriages offer a sedate trip around the stunning gardens.
Every year the
Hampton Court Flower Show attracts people from all over the
world. See link:
rhs.org.uk
There is also the
Hampton Court Ice Rink open from 28 Nov 2009 - 10 Jan 2010 See:

musical events are staged through out the year see:
