Excellent day out. Purchased ticket from Hampton Court Palace which lasts for a year and gets us into Tower of London amongst other palaces. Very well worth the day out. Educational for the kids too with many activities on throughout the day. Comfy shoes and warm coat recommended. Nice cafe but not cheap. Own picnic is much easier. Get there for when it opens, 0900, then you don't have to queue for the Crown Jewels. Can wander past them a few times. When we were leaving the queue for this was huge!!!!
