Lavish, royal, and utterly resplendent on every level. Kensington Palace, bang in the heart of London has been a favourite residence of high-ranking royals since it was built back in 1605.
Stories of the monarchs who’ve lived here over the centuries are plentiful, some tragic and some treacherous (but all very entertaining, of course). If you’ve an interest in British royalty, this is a must for the whole family.
In colder months or drizzlier days, take shelter in the palace itself and marvel at its grandeur. We highly recommend a visit to the jewellery room, home to specially commissioned gems for Queen Victoria and beloved hubby, Albert.
If the weather’s playing nice, saunter through the stunning gardens.
Along with restaurants, dining, and entertainment – it’s a most fitting destination for the elegant borough of Kensington, one of London’s swankiest neighbourhoods. And the closest you’ll come to real royalty – even if it is for just the day.
