We are going to Hampton Court tomorrow for the first time. Two couples
travelling from the Midlands.

I have been advised to take the train and think that is the best option. Our
friends disagree and wish to drive, despite warnings of congestion.

any unbiased views please

We drove there last year and stayed in the hotel bang opposite. We hadn't
hurried and had plenty of time but at the very end, approaching the hotel,
it took us nearly two hours to cover what should have taken twenty minutes.
The traffic congestion was terrible and we'll never do that again. One
other possibility is to explore the travel up the river to Hampton Court.
In decent weather it's a lovely trip but I have no idea of timetables.
