More about this scene
This is the south-east front, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1689 and 1700. The palace was built by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 16th century, but seeing his sovereign's displeasure, Wolsey was forced to offer the magnificent palace to Henry VIII. Five of Henry's wives lived here at some point; Anne Boleyn spent her honeymoon at Hampton Court during its construction. William III and his Queen, Mary, instructed Christopher Wren to rebuild and remodel the Tudor palace and landscape its surroundings. The overwhelming grandeur of Hampton Court's thousand rooms, its royal art collection, its formal gardens and its yew maze leave an unforgettable impression on visitors.
