Trip to London
6 Answers
I am visiting London on route to Dublin in June and am planning on visiting only two tourist attractions : Hampton Court and the Tower of London.
Has anyone visited and can they tell me if they are worth the hype. Also , is there anyway of queue jumping by buying in advance?
Thanks in advance

In my opinion, Hampton Court Palace is unmissable but the Tower is often very crowded and not as interesting.
You can avoid the queues for both by purchasing tickets online from the official website. (It's the same site for both attractions):

As others have indicated, whilst the Tower of London is right in the middle of London, Hampton Court is not and you would need to plan how to get there from where you are staying.

If you want to travel from one to the other see if this suits. You get to take in some sights on the journey too but might spend longer getting there.
