Hampton Court, 2 April, 2005
Hampton Court Palace is in Greater London, upstream on Thames, easily accessible from the city by train. Originally it was built for cardinal Wosely around 1514, but later Henry VIII dismissed the cardinal and took over the palace. The royal family moved from here in the 18th century. Apparenly only for the profit of the souvenir shop it is forbidden to take photos inside, but unintentionally I used my camera a few times.
