Kensington Palace unveils a palace of secret stories and public lives. Arrive through stunning landscaped gardens and be greeted by a statue of one of Kensington Palace’s most famous residents, Queen Victoria. Walk in the footsteps of Kings and Queens as you venture through the elegant state apartments.

Filled with stories of two royal courts; the Stuarts and the Hanoverians, step back in time as you discover what you would have worn, how you would have had to behave and how to navigate the heady atmosphere of court at Kensington Palace.

Venture through the childhood rooms of Queen Victoria in our Victoria: A Royal Childhood permanent exhibition and discover the princess’s education, family life, friendships and bitter struggles during her life under the strict “Kensington System”.

In March 2024, Kensington Palace will unveil a new exhibition, Untold Lives: A palace at work, telling the stories of the forgotten individuals who have worked behind the scenes at the Palace over the centuries. It will explore their origins and identities, extraordinary skills, and the intimate roles many of them had in keeping the palaces running. Taking place inside the Pigott Gallery, this temporary exhibition will see a range of fascinating objects go on display, from portraiture to personal mementoes.

Beautiful palace that covers the history of the royal family. You can walk through the rooms and see the furnitures, cloth etc of the royal family. you will need about 2 hours to see all the sections. Highly recommend.

Great palace to visit. The scheduled talks are absolutley amazing , i strongly recommend you take time out of your visit to listen to them. Most sections of the museum felt filled to the brim with interesting things to see. A few sections felt a bit empty but not many. Entry is slightly confusing with queues forming outside before the scheduled entry time. Great audio guide too.

Pleasantly surprised! I went here by myself and really enjoyed my visit. I am not a history buff by any means but the guided audio tour made it really interesting walking around the 3 apartments and then the best part was catching one of the guides doing their timed talks about Caroline and her life. He was so engaging and the story was interesting. The gardens were lovely and the cafe delicious. I had a lemon pound cake and a cheese tomato toasty that had a lot more flavor than I expected. I think it was spiced well. There are a few stairs going up and down the palace but manageable. It also helped that it didn’t feel too overwhelming and big. It took me about 2.5 hours to look at everything at a very leisurely pace. I went on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait to get inside and a very manageable amount of people inside so it didn’t feel too touristy. Would definitely recommend if interested at all in the royal history or how they used to live.

Kensington Palace was stunning. The exterior architecture and interior artworks, styling, ceiling paintings, and flooring were terrific to view. A new designer exhibit showcased a range of clothing influenced by various royal eras. The artwork in the King's Gallery was stunning, and the wallpaper in a hallway was designed with different Diana images. The exterior sculpture of Queen Victoria is excellent. There is a cafe and toilets in Kensington Palace.

A beautiful well preserved historical palace. The childhood home of Queen Victoria which gives an impression of a real home. The gardens and entrance are majestic any time if the year. Have to visit again at twilight as the fairy lights will be twinkling. Always excellent exhibition. The dress code is small compared to past exhibitions but well designed. Worth becoming a member for entry to the exhibitions. Kensington Gardens is always a treat a vast open area with a pond.
