Dd14 is Tudor History obsessed. She wants to go to Hampton Court.
We have a Historic Palaces pass from a central London trip in the summer so tickets are covered.
I have Questions...
Best way to get there? (Train to King's Cross or Euston then... or better to drive?)
Places to stay? (With decent parking if driving? Any recommendations? 4 bed premier inn type thing is fine - cheap/convenient rather than fancy!)
Places to eat?
Other things for dc14/10 nearby?
Thank you!
London
Hampton Court for half term?

It can also be fun to arrive by boat - from Kingston (cheapest and shortest journey, or Richmond (about 1.5 hours) or Westminster 3.5 hours which doesn't give you enough time in the Palace.

Thorpe park is not far away as well.

I'm obsessed with Tudor history too. I have been since my teens.
I'm in my 60s now, but I never been to Hampton Court. I decided that this year I'm going to go, so this thread is so useful for me too, so thank you all for your suggestions. I love the idea of travelling by boat!

Make sure to visit Kentwell Hall for one of their history days op, they do massive Tudor immersion themed Events through the year.
