The last concert of our Tallis Trail tour was at Hampton Court in the Chapel Royal but we had a couple of hours to look around after our bus trip from Canterbury.

For both of us it was a long time since we’d been there – and I didn’t remember much. So we took our time wandering through the old Tudor-era part of the palace and then the newer baroque apartments.

The concert, like the others, was great but we were seated in the choir stalls which are designed to be stood in. For the shorter among us we only saw the taller members of the choir. Luckily the ceiling of the Chapel Royal is amazing!

Then after being dropped at Stamford Brook tube station we navigated our way to our hotel in Whitehall – with work on the District line turning our straight forward trip into a 2 change epic journey as most of London seemed to be going somewhere by Tube.
