More about this scene
Those who come to Hampton Court Palace by way of Bushy Park or from Kingston enter through the Lion Gates, which face the end of the splendid avenue of chestnut trees. This approach gains its name from the carved lions on the piers. Queen Anne built the gates, and carved on the columns are her initials. The wrought-iron work is very fine, and is believed to have been done by the French master of wrought iron work, Tijou. In the upper panels the letter' G', which stands for King George, has replaced the 'A'. The famous maze is just inside the Lion Gates.
