"As the birthplace of Queen Victoria and the current home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kensington Palace is another royal landmark to add to your itinerary. Surrounded by Kensington Gardens, this beautiful palace is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. For over 300 years, it has been home to young royals including Mary II, Queen Anne, and Diana, Princess of Wales. Explore the beautifully reimagined childhood rooms of Queen Victoria or admire the opulence and grandeur of The King’s State Apartments. Many visitors also head here to see the Diana: Designing for a Princess exhibition, which includes original sketches and outfits worn by the princess. After exploring the grand rooms, artwork, and palace gardens, treat yourself to an afternoon tea at the tranquil tea room." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Interesting place to visit. It was our first historical place, and we had nothing to complete with. I was expecting something more exciting but still was nice. You can see only a small part of the home with some pieces of history. Without a guide, it's a bit confusing. Audio guide didn't help at all. Was actually useless. There is a nice gift shop, where we found beautiful souvenirs. Cafe was very crowded. Park with lake and birds are good to walk and rest around. There is a small Princess Diane memorial. It's nice to see as well. Overall worth to visit once!

Loved it 💯 and enjoyed the Princess Diana memorial garden. Touring the palace public rooms and formal gardens wasn't available the day I visited the palace, still I was happy to walk around outside and take pictures. If you can plan enough time in advance to tour, I suggest that you strongly make plans for the tour. If you can stroll through Kensington park, adjacent to the palace, it's a beautiful public park and I loved walking through the park to visit the outside of the palace and pond, at the end of the park.

Nice palace to visit with family. It is not too big compared with other palaces. It has a great deal of history. In my opinion, it is a place to visit once. Saying that, a big extra bonus point is the amazing park, gardens, Serpentine galleries one and two, Diana's memorial and, most importantly, the friendly squirrels.

This was even better than I expected. The staff talks helped to bring this place to light. Highly recommend if you appreciate Queen Victoria & desire to learn about her early life. Mid-way we visited the Cafe & food was very good. Lovely gift shop too. **one of my favorite little areas...Princess Diana wallpaper which I think was on first floor coming off lift

Kensington Palace is a beautiful palace. I loved the gardens outside. Loved the experience. Not as nice as Buckingham Palace but I enjoyed my visit. Cafe is nice too!

Looks beautiful, really good landscape and gardens! Really enjoyable for children, there is a park for children (you can only enter if you have a child with you) the park has lots of attractions for children. There is a cafe and toilets. The Kensington palace you can walk around it for free, however if you want to visit the place where princess Diana lived you do need to purchase ticket before hand, below in my pictures you will Be able to see the price. The last entry ticket is 4:30pm. The Kensington place garden is beautiful beyond imagination. It is a lovely park if you just wanted to walk through or come with family (picnic) Would definitely keep coming! The park is really well maintained.

It was really interesting to look inside of Kensington Palace and i have to say my favourite bits were looking at the portraits. I have such a fascination by art. As for my experience there was no waiting time and the staff are really kind and helpful. If you have any questions they are here to help and the lady at the desk was really kind.

Pretty small palace with decent artwork. The King's gallery is nice but small. Maximum an hour to see everything. The best thing was actually the garden...
