We have some free time after a Sunday trip to Hampton Court (noon entry.) We are not going to book anything specific (like a show) as we want to keep the schedule open, but would also like to have some ideas ready in case we have time and energy.
I am assuming things close up a bit early on Sundays? Thanks for any suggestions…
There is nothing open on Sunday evenings apart from bars and restaurants and some small shops. Best advice is to book somewhere for dinner. Some theatres do a Sunday matinee but I think evening performances are rare.
The two times we visited the palace we walked across the street to The Mute Swan for dinner when we were finished. Reservations are recommended, although we didn’t have one, as it is very busy.
I’ve had a delicious Sunday Roast lunch twice at the Mute Swan, once on my own, and the second time with my husband. It’s a pub on the ground floor, and restaurant seating upstairs. The convenience to Hampton Court, right across the street from the entrance, can’t be beat. Unfortunately, they don’t open until 11:30 AM on Sundays, and they start running out of roasts as the afternoon wears on. That timing’s probably going to conflict with your schedule for the Palace. Depending on how long you’re planning at Hampton Court, or if you retime your entry there, having a Sunday Roast might be an option.
