Hampton Court Palace - the East Pond Garden
Between the Lower Orangery (seen here beyond the garden) & the River Thames are the Pond Gardens. Originally fish ponds they were transformed into gardens in the 1690s for Queen Mary II. Being sunken they provide a sheltered spot for tender plants. The summer display in the East Garden is especially vibrant. Link

Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south west London; it has not been lived in by the British royal family since the 18th century. The palace is located upstream of Central London on the River Thames. It was originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII, circa 1514; in 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the palace was passed to the King, who enlarged it.
