Day 2: London's Royal Palaces and Small Museums

The London Pass gives you free, fast-track entry to both Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle so that at both these popular attractions you'll be able to sail past the queues in royal fashion! There's so much to see at both of these magnificent palaces, we suggest choosing one or the other. Morning: Windsor Castle or Hampton Court Palace Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest working castle in the world, and the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen of England. Arrive early so you can witness Changing the Guard at 11am (check Changing the Guard dates and times before you go), as well as giving yourself time to see the rest of the castle. Explore the magnificent State Apartments and marvel at the collection of fine artwork, sculptures, furniture and more. If you opt for a London Pass with Travelcard you will have transport to Windsor Castle included. Catch a train from Paddington to Slough and change at Slough for a train to Windsor. Or: Hampton Court Palace is one of London's most popular attractions. Enjoy this spectacularly opulent Tudor palace built by Henry VIII and learn all about his six wives. There's also Henry's magnificent State Rooms, the Tudor kitchens where you can sample medieval fare, and more than 60 acres of beautiful gardens including the famous maze; which is particularly lovely in the warmer months. Hampton Court Palace is located in Zone Six, so is covered by The London Pass plus Travelcard.
