The maze at Hampton Court Palace

I waste a lot of time with Google maps. I’ve recently rekindled my fascination with London after finding the Hampton Court Palace maze on Google maps.
I think I also found the little pub across the street from the palace grounds that I enjoyed a few bitters at. The rear part of the pub had an outdoor patio right on the Thames; I crouched at the edge and touched it. (Yeah, locals are laughing at me because it’s dirty, but it seemed pretty exotic to a guy who spent his first quarter century living in Pennsylvania).

I’m not exactly sure which structure it was (the smaller one to the right or the larger to the left?) I don’t remember big umbrellas being that close to the water…but then again, I was last there in 1991.
