Getting to Hampton Court Fair
Train To Hampton Court
The most direct option to Hampton Court is by rail from London's Waterloo Station. A commuter service makes many stops before finally terminating at Hampton Court Station - the end of the line.
You simply have to cross the River Thames by Hampton Court Bridge and you're there. Trains run generally every 30 minutes.
Underground + Bus or Boat
Waterloo Station isn't the most convenient place for much London accommodation.
One attractive alternative is to get the District Line out to Richmond on Thames, the end of the line. Then get a bus or better still a boat to Hampton Court.
Richmond is in Zone 4 of the Underground charging districts.
The bus to Hampton Court stops in front of the Underground Station. The route is R68 and terminates at Hampton Court station..

Hampton Court by River Transport
The nicest way to visit Hampton Court is by river launch. As the river services make several stops along the way with connections back into Central London, you can choose how long you want on the river.
Westminster-Kew-Hampton Court- Richmond-Hampton Court
From April to October there are at least two services a day for the three to three and a half hour trip out to Hampton Court from Westminster. The service stops at many stops including Kew Gardens, Richmond and Kingston (the later are major suburban shopping centres). If you require a full day at Hampton Court Palace its probably best to get the underground out to Richmond then catch additional services that run for the one hour trip onto Hampton Court.
