The Thames: Britain's Great River with Tony Robinson S02E07 - Hampton Court Palace

The actor and presenter starts his journey in Richmond upon Thames, at Hampton Court Palace. This 1,000-room residence was King Henry VIII's favourite. Tony begins his tour by the Thames right where the loos would have been. It's also where the royals would have arrived by barge, and where merchants from as far away as Venice would have sold their fancy fabrics.
