The State Apartments and private rooms of William III Wander through the world of William III, who ruled alongside Mary II as England's first and only joint sovereigns. The King’s Apartments were commissioned by William as part of Hampton Court’s transformation into an elegant Baroque palace, while the Queen’s Apartments were begun as a counterpart for Mary II (though they were not completed until long after her death). These rooms may look empty to modern eyes but they would once have been filled with beautifully dressed courtiers meeting, gossiping and playing politics. The Maze Enter the UK's oldest hedge maze. Commissioned by William III in 1700, it is a third of an acre in size with many twists and turns, and dead ends. It takes visitors an average of 20 minutes to reach the centre. The Maze was designed by George London and Henry Wise and is trapezoid in shape. Originally planted using hornbeam, it was later replanted using yew. It is referred to as a multicursal or puzzle maze. Usual Opening Hours Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 - 17:30. Last admission: 16:30 (except the below dates) Closed Monday and Tuesday (except during peak dates when the palace is open daily)
