Enjoy a leisurely cycling tour with someone special, led by an expert guide, around the grounds of the stunning Hampton Court Palace.
Hampton Court is the famous home of Henry VIII, so as you can imagine, a lot went on within those walls! Situated on the edge of the Thames, this bike tour is magnificent way to see a beautiful part of London. You’ll be provided with vintage push bikes with bells and baskets and a comfy leather saddle. The bikes are single gear cycles, as the terrain isn’t strenuous. This is about a leisurely cycle around, hearing about the wonderful history of the building and the area.
Your experience begins by meeting at Hampton Court train station, where after a short walk, you’ll get on your bikes and get started! The tour is around 8 miles in distance, but it won’t feel like that with all the excitement going on around you. You’ll venture through the royal parks, the King’s hunting grounds, hear about the Cold War and WW2 history of the area, and of course cycle round the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. There will be a stop at a pub during the tour, if you wanted to buy yourselves a quick drink, or just to rest up a little.
Once the tour is complete, you can leave your bikes at the palace, and if you like, continue to enjoy the beautiful grounds before making your way back out into the City to enjoy the rest of your day.
When in season and during good weather, there is a boat that boards at the palace and goes over to Richmond and Westminster.
This is an incredible way to see a special part of London, a stunning palace and to learn some great tales of British history.

Brilliant tour!
This tour was brilliant! I was worried I'd struggle riding the bike as I haven't ridden one in years, but I got used to it quite quickly. Our tour guide was great, we stopped at various points and she told us interesting facts. The route is pretty flat and beautiful; We cycled past lots of deer in Bushy Park, they were so close to us! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Beautiful way to experience Hampton Court
Trish was a lovely young lady who definitely has a passion for Hampton Court and was a great source of information. The bikes were easy to ride and it was just a perfect way to experience the Parks, the Thames and Hampton court palace. Highly recommended..

Hampton court bike ride
There were only 4 of us on our tour plus the guide which made it very enjoyable, Im not sure I would have enjoyed it so much if there were quite a few on the tour. The bikes needed a clean and looked pretty old but they were easy to ride with no gears and were comfy. The whole route was flat going across parks and along the thames. very enjoyable.
