The park is listed at Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Hampton Court Palace
Cardinal Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII in 1529 gave the palace to the King; The King arranged for it to be enlarged so that it might more easily accommodate his sizeable retinue of courtiers. Along with St James' Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many the King owned.

The structure and grounds are cared for by an independent charity, Historic Royal Palaces, which receives no funding from the Government or the Crown.

Apart from the Palace and beautiful gardens, celebrated maze, Royal tennis court it also has the largest grapevine in the world.

The palace's Home Park and Long Water is the site of the annual Hampton Court Palace Festival & Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
