Reem 🍔🍕🌮🍣🍤🍦🍩🎂🍮🍰September 22, 2014I enjoyed my time there.it was really intersting and well organized. Walk and observe everything slowly so that you can enjoy your time
DavidJune 25, 2015Relaxing 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 🇰🇼February 26, 2020Nice 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 XOctober 1, 2016This 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.
- Karli (Bulnes) MullaneMarch 27, 2013Plan 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.
KarenOctober 17, 2022The jewelry room in Victoria's rooms is a can't-miss. Take your time on the tour. It's a pretty amazing.
Hannah JessicaJanuary 12, 2019Beautiful building although perhaps not worthy of the £25 pp entry price. Having said that, the Diana fashion story exhibition was great.
Ezryn ZarofJuly 12, 2017I loved it! I felt more at home here than Buckingham Palace, and the collection they have here are exquisite!
Hotel IndigoJanuary 27, 2014Don'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.
JNETApril 10, 2015I enjoyed my visit to the grounds though I passed on the tour. I heard that it is less sparkling than visiting other palaces.
YOUhomeFebruary 25, 2015Kensington Place and the gardens are a beautiful spot in London to show the kids and educate them about some of London's history.- Meaghan HMay 11, 2017Beautiful location and great chambers to explore. Right now it has the Diana exhibit as well!
Alia AlsharifMarch 20, 2015Very good to see the history but you need to see Diana memory which is only dress
Neslihan SamiDecember 15, 2014Tea time , museum shop best ever. I had been here several times. Absolutely fabolous🇬🇧
AgathaSeptember 21, 2015Good coffee stop after a walk at the park if nothing else just for its beautiful garden surroundings. Scones are good.
Jon BoydMay 13, 2015The wifi network "PALACEFREEWIFI" is legit, part of the Palace's exhibit on fashion. Soak up the bandwidth!
Brent NichollsApril 26, 2012The 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.- BrokeinLondon.comDecember 22, 2013Don’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.

Carl GriffinDecember 28, 2015Birthplace of Queen Victoria and home to Princess Diana. A beautiful palace looking onto the pleasant Kensington Gardens.
Owen McCabeMay 16, 2015Slightly overpriced coffee but well worth it for sitting out in the sun in the beautiful gardens.
Jen BeardsmoreMay 14, 2013Really fascinating glimpse into a family home. Victoria Exhibition is so well presented and enjoyable.
HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011The 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.
Thiago BarrosSeptember 14, 2013Excelente! Isso sim é história! Todos devem conhecer! Excellent! Now that's history! Everyone should know!
Alli MacKenzieAugust 18, 2015The experts who walk around always have amazing little stories and info you won't read elsewhere. Listen to them!
hj sOctober 4, 2016Connects 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- Free Garden History Tours! May-Sept. Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday at 12pm & 2pm. Sign up on day, at White Court or Queen's entrance. Last 45min-1 hour.
Nicole SerratoreMarch 3, 2015Total waste of time. But if you do go in check out the fascinating and weird Princess Diana wallpaper by the toilets.
Victoria RedshawDecember 22, 2015So interesting. I spent 2 hours here but didn't manage to see everything. The explanation talks are good.
JoeyyymacApril 24, 2016Nice place but not a great deal to see. No more than a 45~60 min visit I'd say.
HaeAn SungMarch 15, 2015Know more about Queen Victoria's life. Smell map of the Georgian Court was fun experience.
Meiyi YauJuly 17, 2013Took a lot of photos of Kensington Palace. A sure can't miss tourist attraction for me.
Dan HardakerMarch 31, 2012Love the new Kensington Palace. One of London's most interesting attractions
Richard FindlayFebruary 27, 2015Worth a look but expensive - you are paying for access not quality and quality of artefacts
- Rory BrownFebruary 7, 2011The exhibition of the enchanted palace is great. Fantastic to take kids to.
