Alexi Duggins goes on a ‘smell tour’ of Hampton Court Palace with Jo Neil, Interpretation Manager at Historic Royal Palaces.
Gin and cake tastings, evenings of music and fireworks, scandalous gossip tours and even a jelly party are just a few of the ways you can immerse yourself in the celebrations at London’s Historic Royal Palaces, marking the 300th anniversary of George I’s arrival from Germany to take the British throne. Watch our behind the scenes videos from the palaces to find out more about this special season.
In the Georgian period, everything from politics to fashion, science to scandal was played out in the London royal residences at Hampton Court, Kensington and Kew. Incredibly, we can still get close to these stories in the rooms and gardens where such events took place. For ‘The Glorious Georges’, Historic Royal Palaces are presenting life at Hampton Court, Kensington and Kew palaces as it would have been during the reigns of Georges I, II and III.
