...of these apartments, and see how they were accessed and so on. It was interesting to see, and I had no idea that so many people - and such a wide variety - lived in those circumstances.
Getting there
We are lucky, living in south London, to be able to reach Hampton Court in just 20 minutes by car - parking costs £3.50 on the palace grounds, and slightly less at the nearby alternative car parks. To get there by train would take us about an hour - there are trains to Hampton Court station from London Waterloo via Clapham Junction that take just over 30 minutes to get there.
Unless you have an A-Z and a good navigator or know the route, I'd advise against travelling by car as the traffic is frequently fairly awful, especially if there's racing on at Kempton Park, which is just up the road - worth checking before you set off.

...is the Grand Hall of Henry VIII (which replaced the original room of Wolsey's), on the left, the official apartments of William and Mary (Christopher Wren), and in front, the gateway to the Fountain Court (built by William Kent under the reign of George II). Are you beginning to get the picture? Hampton Court may be renowned as a Tudor Palace, but other great architectural influences have also been at work over the centuries.

Advantages: Good location in London Disadvantages: Expensive to say the least.
...I made a visit to Holiday Inn in Earls Court during the middle of July
and found this a nice place to stay. The hotel had a small sign displayed at the front of the hotel window advertising rooms from £99 per room per night.
Regarding the hotels location the nearest tube station is West Brompton station which takes around 10 minutes to walk from the station to the hotel, or Fulham Broadway is around 15 minutes away. The hotels immediate location is also close to South Kensington. Therefore hotel visitors are treated to a great array of shopping malls in Fulham and high streets that surround the area. Directly opposite the Express by Holiday Inn (Earls Court) is a Thai Bangkok restaurant and a Beds ltd furniture store. On the corner of the main road is a Polish Coffee shop and many other restaurants going towards Fulham.
