Default Hampton Court Flower show

I'm planning to take my 1st trip to a flower show and go to the Hampton
Court flower show next week.

Is this show any good , has anyone ever been before ?


Been lots of times.
It is a good show, plenty of room so lots of walking on uneven grass...be
warned, wear very comfortable shoes with a good tread, especially if it's
wet.
Don't drive to the show, the traffic in the Hampton Court area will be
horrendous even by the standards of that area, use the train, Hampton
Station is just across the bridge and they normally run a shuttle river boat
across direct to the show.
If you have to come a long distance and want to drive then park near another
station and still get the train in, it will save a lot of time and
frustration.
Not enough places to sit and I've never found the food much cop btw but then
that is true for all RHS shows.
Weather forecast is for it to be quite hot so take some water and a
hat/turban/umbrella.
