The Tudors had a number of palaces, halls and other residences, some still in use and others either destroyed or given/sold to others over time. Here is a partial list:
In London;
Tower of London
Whitehall
Westminster
Nonsuch Palace
Hampton Court
Bridewell
Chelsea Manor
Leicester House
Lancaster House
Others included Beautieu in Chelmsford,
Caernarfon in Wales,
Eltham Palace in Kent,
Hatfield House in Hertfordshire (gifted to the Cecil family by James I & VI),
and Woodstock in Oxfordshire
There were others, big and small, but none owned by the Tudors outside of England and Wales. Any "Crown Properties" in Ireland would have been used by British representatives, and Scottish properties didn't become part of British ownership until Elizabeth's successor, James I & VI,
when he ascended to the throne in 1603.

Henry was born in Eltham Palace, which is still there.
He also lived in Richmond palace which is not.
He commandeered Hampton court from Cardinal Wolsey.
There were also chambers and a Great hall at that time in the Tower of London where he could stay.
I daresay there were other buildings and hunting lodges he used, but many are no longer in existence.

cool i love henry questions so here goes. He was born in Greenwich died at Whitehall. also try St James palace built during marriage to Anne Boleyn, Whitehall Palace confiscated by Henry from Cardinal Wolsley. Richmond Palace built 1500. Hampton court given to Henry by Cardinal Wolsley in 1525 this was enlarged by Henry and believed to be haunted by Jane Seymour and Catherine Howard. Happy Henry Hunting.

Henry VIII had already created the biggest house in Europe when he extended Hampton Court after persuading Cardinal Wolsey to give it to him in 1525. Not satisfied with this, in 1538 he levelled the Surrey village of Ewell to build the huge Nonesuch Palace.

Try googling Henry viii rather than v111, you might have more luck.

Henry the VIII's home was Hampton Court, not sure if he 'owned' many more, but he would have visited a few in his reign.
