Hampton Court Palace is practically your next-door neighbour at this cosy top floor apartment in the leafy borough of Richmond upon Thames. With terrace views of Royal Bushy Park, sip your morning coffee to the sight of fallow deer roaming through the sprawling grounds. Inside, there are traditional wooden beams and plush fabrics, giving the place plenty of character. The kitchenette is well-equipped for whipping up breakfasts in bed or elevenses at the dining nook. Pack a picnic and take a walk through the Palace’s lawns – the Rose Garden is particularly idyllic. Stroll along the River Thames, five minutes from your doorstep, and find a scenic spot to tuck into your lunch. For jaunts into London, it’ll take you forty minutes by train. Hampton Court station is a ten-minute walk away.

Local guide
About Hampton
Hampton (whose name covers the three villages of Hampton, Hampton Wick and Hampton Hill) is a charming residential suburb in south west London just to the west of Bushy Park, home to the magnificent Hampton Court Palace. The park, with its mile-long Chestnut Avenue created by Sir Christopher Wren, its golden 17th-century Diana Fountain, restored 18th-century cascade and water garden, and herds of deer, is the second-largest of London’s eight Royal Parks after Richmond. You'll mainly be rubbing shoulders with affluent young families who moved away from central London in search of green spaces and a slower pace of life.
