Kensington Palace has been a royal residence since King William III and Mary II renovated the existing house and moved there in 1689. Princesses continue to live there today, the most famous of recent times being Princess Diana. Queen Victoria was born and lived here until she ascended the throne and moved to Buckingham Palace in 1837.

Things to see in palace include Queen Victoria's bedroom, the imposing King's Staircase, the art in the King's Gallery, and the tranquil Sunken Garden. Also interesting is the Royal Dress Collection, including some of Princess Diana's famous frocks.

We had a very enjoyable visit to Kensington Palace on last month. We were greeted very warmly by the staff and began our visit on a very rainy morning in the cafe. Prices were resonable and the food quality was good.
The staff throughout the Palace were helpful, informative, and made us feel very welcomed at the Palace.
We were impressed at the pace we were able to visit. There was a "no rush" pace that we had not seen at other attactions of this type.
The one slight disappointment was the Diana display. It was small and seemed to do her a slight injustice.
We would reccomend Kensington Palace 100%

Practical Info

Kensington Palace is within Hyde Park and is very easy to get to. The closest tube station is Queensway. Currently the palace is being re-presented as the Enchanted Palace, bringing together history and cutting edge contemporary fashion and theatre. Expect Vivienne Westwood next to Queen Victoria.
