Discover royal heritage at Kensington Palace
Kensington Palace offers an immersive journey into centuries of British monarchy. Wander through the King’s and Queen’s State Apartments to see lavish interiors filled with art, history, and fine craftsmanship. Learn about Queen Victoria's early years in her childhood home and experience a special exhibition dedicated to her Christmas memories as a young girl. If you prefer not to tour inside the Palace, The Orangery provides an elegant spot for afternoon tea.
A tribute to Princess Diana
The State Apartments feature stunning architecture with detailed woodwork and grand ceilings. A highlight is the King’s Staircase, decorated with vivid paintings of royal life. Take a break in the tranquil Sunken Garden—a peaceful retreat from the city. This garden also holds an emotional statue dedicated to Princess Diana, created by her sons Princes William and Harry. Unveiled on what would have been her 60th birthday, it is surrounded by flowers like forget-me-nots, which were a favorite of hers.
