What a lovely place! I visited Kensington Palace just before Valentine 2022 with my boyfriend. The place is very warm and cozy, we visited all the rooms that are opened for public. The King’s gallery is absolutely stunning with finest paintings of the Royal Collection. The King’s Staircase is so marvellous. Don’t forget to visit Jewel room where they display Queen Victoria’s magnificent diamond and emerald tiara, Kensington Palace Gardens, Kensington Garden where you can see so many swans and duck in such a peaceful and joyful view.
Reading about the love of Victoria and Albert in Kensington Palace also an unexpected fulfilment for our Valentine date 💗

This is the Palace of the "Young Royals" one of many Royal residence throughout the UK.

It was a short walk about 5-6 minutes from the Hilton at Hyde Park where we spent almost a week.

Also a memorial garden to Princess Diana. We spent about two hours touring at a leisure pace.

They had an exhibit "Life Through a Royal Lens" which had a fascinating collection of photos of the royal family many candid and family shots.

It was about $25pp for entry.

We had a tight schedule, we had a reservation to do "High tea at the Palace" it starts at 34£ pp. Advance reservations recommended.

Great place to visit especially if you are a historic fan. The Palace has lots of stuff to make our eyes explore the royal life. Great surroundings.. there is a small pond with lots of swans and birds. Children will have fun time. This is located near a very big park and great for families and friends weekend gatherings.

Buy tickets online ahead of time for a scheduled hour! It was a nice visit and not too crowded due to the timed slot setup. We went at 12pm and it seemed like a perfect time. It was beautiful outside, many people running and relaxing in the park, sunny with tons of birds. Absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful but expensive place to visit. Unfortunately opening hours aren't very reachable at least during spring time, so we couldn't go inside the gates to admire the garden nor could we go inside the residence. Instead we enjoyed wandering in the park which was very amusing and interesting - beautiful surroundings!

All I can say is wow!! What a beautiful, stunning, gorgeous building! This was the first time I've visited. The inside is completely incredible, I was blown away with the details of the painting on the walls/ceilings, and the decorating. There's two sides inside of the Palace, Queens side and the Kings side, and both are beautiful, very high ceilings, tickets are £20 each, recommend you do it online and print them out, bag searches before entering, it isn't the best place to manoeuvre around but there is a lift! Cafe and shop at the very bottom of the building! Super clean and tidy! 5*👍

Never been before and the weather helped an enjoyable day. The self lead audio tour was insightful and the venue not overly crowded. Gift shop had some lovely items and the cafe ample indoor/outdoor seating. The Pavilion restaurant looked inviting

A great place for British history buffs. Architecture and interior designing were amazing in keeping with Royalty tradition. The brief live presentation free with the tour gave extra rich history not noted in the Palace's signage. Food was available on site, a nice convenience.
