Hampton Court Palace is the magnificent home of Henry VIII. Located on the banks of the River Thames, the palace provides the perfect destination for an easy going vintage bike ride. Each bike comes with a bell and optional basket which is perfect for resting your coat or keeping your camera close to hand. All of the bikes are single gear, highlighting just how flat and relaxing the routes are. Suitable for any shape or size, they have a comfy leather saddle and leather handlebars for a smooth ride and easy cruising.

The tour starts at Hampton Court train station, with a short walk to jump aboard their vintage-style bikes. The route is a flat 8 miles in total and passes through Royal Parks and the historic grounds of Hampton Court Palace with plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the sights. You will explore the ancient hunting grounds of Henry VIII and reveal the secret WW2 and Cold War history of the area before pausing at a pub, where refreshments are available to purchase.

After returning to the palace along the river Thames, you can leave the bikes and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure. Explore the famous Palace & Gardens or return directly to London. In season and dependent on tide times, it is possible to take the boat back to either Richmond or Westminster.

Each bike had its own royal name ranging from Anne to Henry. The bikes were vintage and had a spacious basket...

What did you get up to? The meeting point for the tour was Hampton Court train station, which is a cute little station, located next to the palace. Once our group all arrived it was time to set off and collect our bikes. The tour started behind a pub over the bridge called the Prince of Wales. Each bike had its own royal name ranging from Anne to Henry. The bikes were vintage and had a spacious basket for us to pop our belongings in. Within our group there were 8 people which is the average sized group for the tour. Here is where our guide introduced herself and allowed us to test out the bike, all seats were adjustable to suit our needs. Hampton Court is located on the edge of Richmond upon Thames due to the fabulous weather the streets were buzzing with people coming to visit the palace. The guide advised us it would be better to walk our bikes over to the palace instead of biking due the busy streets and narrow bridge. As soon as we reached the palace grounds, our guide informed us of where were going during the tour – through the gardens, along Chestnut Avenue, through the parks which were Henry VIII’s hunting grounds to the pub for a nice refreshment and back along the palace grounds via a bike trail next to the Thames. Our guide led the tour, and everyone could go at their own pace, she would stop at different places and wait for everyone to arrive before telling us stories and the history of Hampton court. The ground was flat and easy to bike around however the bikes do take a little getting used too. The pub is called the White Hart which has a lovely beer garden full of flowers and live music which made for a perfect pit stop. Everyone had time to enjoy the scenery and a much-needed drink before setting off back to Hampton Court whilst riding along the river Thames. The tour ended at the palace where the guide told us about Henry and his many wives. After which we were welcome to spend the day in the grounds or exploring the facilities. What did you enjoy the most? We really enjoyed the relaxing pace and seeing sites of London we wouldn’t normally get to see. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable to it felt like we came away knowing so much about London’s history.

Top Tip

Ensure you arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour start time.

    We had great weather for the bike tour. Our guide was friendly and kept us entertained with stories about Bushy Park and Hampton Court. Relaxing pace and just the right length of cycle ride. A good way to see such a vast area. Good communication from Coddiwomple Tours. We took a boat tour back to central London afterwards. Only thing that could have been improved was how activity superstore booked the tour. They insisted on you providing preferred days to them and booking it for you (on a day/time which might not be on your preferred list). Would have been ao much easier for us to be able generate to use a code to book directly on the tour company's website.

    Had a lovely time, guide very knowledgeable and funny. Kept to a good pace so it didn't feel like eight miles. Beautiful location. But would have been nice to have had a basket on the bikes

    We had a really good few hours on the bike tour round Hampton Court Palace and Bushy Park. We were fortunate to have just 4 in our group plus our guide who was brilliant. The bikes were super easy to ride and no expertise required. Just enjoyment of the deer and the fabulous surroundings. All helped by the beautiful weather. So glad we booked onto this tour.

    This tour was brilliant! I was worried I'd struggle riding the bike as I haven't ridden one in years, but I got used to it quite quickly. Our tour guide was great, we stopped at various points and she told us interesting facts. The route is pretty flat and beautiful; We cycled past lots of deer in Bushy Park, they were so close to us! Would definitely recommend this tour.
