Kensington Palace, London

I really enjoyed the Kensington Palace tour. It offered a realistic glimpse into how the royals lived and provided a lot of historical information. Make sure to grab one of the information books as you enter each room to get detailed information on the history of the room’s use and the stories behind each piece of artwork on display. The Diana: Her Fashion Story exhibition included with the entrance fee is a wonderful display of some of Diana’s most famous outfits. See how many you recognize! We purchased our tickets in advance from Viatour, which provided no discount but at least saved us from waiting in the ticket line (which was relatively short anyway). Overall, this is a great tour that takes around 2 hours to complete (not including roaming through the gardens) and I would definitely recommend it!

Kensington Palace is one of the more accessible Royal complexes, being in Hyde Park, right in the centre of London. Has an impressively beautiful garden perfect to take pictures. A must see at Kensington Palace is the Sunken Garden which was originally planted in 1908. The Cradle Walk surrounding the Garden is equally beautiful to walk through. The Diana exhibit was also interesting.

This is one of my favorite places in London! The garden is very pretty with the lake and park right there. Even on frosty mornings, lots of people take out the dogs for a stroll. There are also a lot of Swans and birds. Great for a nice walk with great scenery.

Oh my God this is the marvellous place for me. I would like to be here again some day. I wish i could see one of the royal family . There, the view is so nature, the atmosphere is so silent. If i am not mistaken for the place, i enjoy the changing of guards. Everybody amazed by the show. It is very proper barricade indeed. It is excellent.

Very interesting palace, with a self-guided walking tour of the (small portion) publicly accessible former quarters. Staff is generally very helpful, but other than a few "quick bits", mini lectures at specific times in certain areas, there isn't any sort of a guided tour, and the information posted on each room, while interesting, isn't very lengthy or detailed. I recommend buying the guidebook, to fill this gap. After your tour, stop into the Cafe for some tea or a quick bite. On weekends, it will be quite crowded, but still interesting.
