Reem ????????????????????????????????????????

I enjoyed my time there.it was really intersting and well organized . Walk and observe everything slowly so that you can enjoy your time

David

Relaxing walk in the Kensington park . Not so much to see in the palace . Liked the part dedicated to queen Victoria. It helps to better understand the person.

Abdulrahman Almunayes ????????

Nice to walk around for 1 hour, traditional luxury palace ! Historically known. At coffee shop , try the Delicious Fresh Grapes & Sparkling Lemonade ! Take a rest after 1 hour standing & walking tour .

George X

This is not such an impressive palace as Tower of London but still worth a visit. Home of Prince William. Queen Victoria was raised here and thus expect a really interesting exhibition on her life.

Gezen Gören

a little bit expensive for what you get.. park is nice

Hannah Jessica

Beautiful building although perhaps not worthy of the £25 pp entry price. Having said that, the Diana fashion story exhibition was great.

Karen

The jewelry room in Victoria's rooms is a can't-miss. Take your time on the tour . It's a pretty amazing.

Karli (Bulnes) Mullane

Plan to attend the free 10-minute talk about Princess Diana . The volunteer is very passionate about Lady Di. The staff at the gift shop is also very friendly and knowledgable about their items.

Hotel Indigo

Don't miss the fascinating Victoria Revealed exhibition , which details Queen Victoria's life, complete with artifacts that include her wedding gown, toys , and personal mementos.

Kensington Place and the gardens are a beautiful spot in London to show the kids and educate them about some of London's history.

Good coffee stop after a walk at the park if nothing else just for its beautiful garden surroundings. Scones are good.

Carl Griffin

Birthplace of Queen Victoria and home to Princess Diana . A beautiful palace looking onto the pleasant Kensington Gardens .

Very good to see the history but you need to see Diana memory which is only dress

JNET

I enjoyed my visit to the grounds though I passed on the tour . I heard that it is less sparkling than visiting other palaces .

Francesca

Beautiful site, I really loved the Victoria Revealed exhibition

HaeAn Sung

Know more about Queen Victoria's life. Smell map of the Georgian Court was fun experience.

Jon Boyd

The wifi network "PALACEFREEWIFI" is legit, part of the Palace 's exhibit on fashion. Soak up the bandwidth!

Alli MacKenzie

The experts who walk around always have amazing little stories and info you won't read elsewhere. Listen to them!

Don’t forget to take a look at the breath-taking light piece at the centre of the palace made of almost 12,000 Swarovski crystals. Read more

Brent Nicholls

The new Kensington Palace is very disappointing, stripping it of any 'secret look into the lives' and replaced it with cheap looking, 100% fabricated for tourists styled and slightly tacky exhibits .

Consuela BH

I advise to buy the tickets in advance because it sells out very fast

Thiago Barros

Excelente! Isso sim é história! Todos devem conhecer! Excellent! Now that's history! Everyone should know!

M R

Worth visiting the exhibition though its small.

Lesego Mosehla

If u loved Princess Diana , then this is the place you should come to.

Owen McCabe

Slightly overpriced coffee but well worth it for sitting out in the sun in the beautiful gardens .

hj s

Connects to Hyde park . Not really worth the money but if you have a London pass & is willing to visit any places nearby, it's not a bad deal

HISTORY UK

The focus of mourning after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, this was also the birthplace of Victoria, and where she was told she had become queen in 1837.

Jen Beardsmore

Really fascinating glimpse into a family home. Victoria Exhibition is so well presented and enjoyable.

Victoria Redshaw

So interesting. I spent 2 hours here but didn't manage to see everything. The explanation talks are good.

SteamPunk Pharaoh

Beautiful palace and find out how short Queen Victoria was!

Pelin Dura
