Boat Trip: Kingston to Hampton Court – Return (23.6.2019)

We drove to Kingston on Sunday morning after I had finished teaching a class of Chinese martial arts. We parked the car in the centre and walked for about ten minutes to find the jetty not far from the John Lewis Department Store, situated on the bank of the River Thames. Top marks to the Captain and Crew who were highly professional, kind and courteous whilst ensuring our collective safety! Our initial plan was simply a return boat-trip as part of the children’s education – but on arrival (the journey took about 30 minutes) we realised just how easy it was to enter the impressive Hampton Court Palace and grounds, and decided to extend our educational agenda! I shall write about Hampton Court Palace on a separate post.
