This huge red-brick palace sprawls in lush green grounds and was Henry VIII's favourite. The grand rooms are fit for a king, decorated with paintings, velvet drapes and lashings of gold. The royal kitchens were a big part of Tudor life at Hampton Court Palace. In any one day, up to 1,200 members of Henry's court might feast on wild boar and beer. Cooking for hundreds of people with no mod-cons can't have been easy; come and find out how they did it.
