WILDWORKS, Kensington Palace Review

Well worth the visit, especially if you are a Royal Palaces member.

Royal palace that s actually the young royal s house. It was Queen victoria s residence and also was home for Lady Diana for almost 16 years. Beautiful flowers garden and view for the upper side of them.
You can have a snack or drink in the sunken cafe near the gardens.

It was very sunny when we went there. It's so big and lovely to walk around. We fed parakeet birds and it was an amazing experience.

Lovely place. Looks nice from the outside Did not try to get in as it was a bit crowded already, but Hyde park is really stunning. Clean and spacious. Excellent place for a good walk.
Loved all the squirrels running around.
Looking forward to visit again. Totally worth visiting.

Beautiful Park well kept.
If I had a criticism, it is allowing owners to let their dogs run free.

What a nice palace and beautiful garden! Acres and acres of big space. Lots of greens. Many local people bring their picnic basket and enjoy a beautiful afternoon on the grass. So relaxing.....

There is a fee to tour the interior. If you have enough time, take your time check out the palace inside and enjoying the garden. Away from the heavy traffic.

Lovely building. Being a huge Princess Diana fan the Fashion Story exhibition is a must do. Second visit to the exhibition

Beautiful and well kept park surrounding a beautiful palace. Well worth a visit!

Really enjoyed Kensington. A new deep respect for Queen Victoria too. Stunning palace with amazing interior. Only wish there were more exibits for the price. Staff were very friendly

Disappointed with the tour. We were told Diana's dressed would be there. We paid and went in to find no dresses on display. A good way to make money for the Royal family.

They had the Diana exhibit while we were there, very cool to see. My wife loved it. Palace itself is nice and the Victoria exhibit was pretty cool.

This is our second visit and I love it here. The best bit for me was the Queen Victoria exhibition, they have added some of her jewels which are shown in their best possible light.

The memory of Diana is one of the best things in the palace

Beautiful grounds. We had high tea and it was amazing. Make sure to sit outside for tea.

Queens. And Kings. Lived there. And still do. Although, the future kings. A lot to see and to learn. As well as to enjoy. Pity, that they stopped displaying Princess Di's dresses - the exhibition was one of the highlights of the visit! But, you might be lucky to see the Royal Tiaras - hurry up!

Nice palace to visit while wandering around Hyde park.

Got lucky that we were there on a sunny afternoon. Beautiful building and grounds.

Nice palace, park, and garden. I recommend people to bike around here. It's pretty relaxing. Would definitely come back.

I enjoyed coming here to learn more about all the different royals. It gives a full history from day 1. The park is also pleasant to stroll through during the day. The storytelling from some of the staff makes you feel you were there. Very interesting place to check out.

Visited a few times before
Very busy today, Saturday, last weekend of the Princess Di dresses exhibition . But a very well presented experience. Go on a weekday best.

Very special girls day out visiting Diana's dresses - you can top off your day with an amazing afternoon tea or a much more affordable cup of tea in the cafe afterwards. It's free to get into the gift shop and it's my go-to place for some classy "London" gifts.

Loved it, the royalty history and surroundings. Interesting tour inside with lots to see and do. Wander around and read all the stories dating back 400 years. What a grand place with many old artefacts still the same as it was back then.

Staff were VERY helpful. I took my elderly mother in her wheelchair to see Diana's dresses & staff helped us everywhere we went, including giving us priority in the (longish) queues...huge thanks...

Well worth a visit. Great way to spend a couple of hours. Recommended

I enjoyed the visit to Kensington Palace. I wish that we had more time to better appreciate the nicely curated exhibits. We were able to enjoy a rainy walk through the gardens where we would have loitered longer had we not been constrained by time and weather. I also picked up the guidebook for sale at the ticket counter and in the gift store as a memento. It provides a wonderful history of the palace and its succession of residents, accompanied by some wonderful photos.

What a beautiful place to visit .
Full of history, great to find out lots about the History of the Royals and see all the beautiful rare Tiaras ect ,so interesting and the grounds are stunning!
Wonderful day out!

Lovely Security Guards , great customer service skills, very respectful of the Public .1 Guard stood out from the rest with his outstanding Customer Service skills, went above and beyond to make feel welcome and at ease, happy chap with a lovely smile , he showed us around , had good knowledge of the Palace & it's History. This made our visit that extra bit special.
Thank you Jez for making our visit such a wonderful experience!
(we asked him his name )
Would recommend the Palace to anyone visiting London.

Too expensive to take the tour of the actual palace. Enjoyed the garden and grounds for free

Pretty boring. Not really worth the price. Big focus on Victoria and previous monarchs, better off to watch a documentary imo - you would get more context. Enjoyed walking through Hyde Park to get there though. Cute gardens too.

Have tea and cakes and ices by the gardens. So relaxing

This is a beautiful building housing a fabulous exhibition of Diana's dresses and Queen Victoria's tiaras. Even the staff have an air of grandeur about them!!

Amazing place full of excellent royal history. I really enjoyed a day out in this perfect place. I appreciate it to everyone who is interested about the history especially about the history of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and Princess Diana. I took many amazing photos outside the Palace. The Sunken gardens were and still are beautiful. Really want to come back.

Although I visited Kensington Palace in winter, it is better to visit this place during spring time. The gardens that sorround the Palace are really gorgeous and the green of nature and the variety of colours provided by the flowers give to this place a perfect background for any type of photo. Inside the palace you will find nice painted halls with fantastic portraits of well known members of the royal family. Plus some dresses from centuries ago. Maybe you can ask for more displays of elements but I think it is ok.
The souvenirs shop is mainly for women and children. Just a few items for men. The area dedicated to Princess Diana is by far the best of this place.

There are so many beautiful love stories connected with this palace, both touching and sad (George II and Caroline, Victoria and Albert, Diana), but the place seems so devoid of any humanity - no real connection to the past and the people who inhabit it. The grandeur of the King's apartments is definitely something impressive to behold, but the place feels like a bit of an empty shell, a recreation...

I spent an enjoyable 3 hours here looking at the Diana dress exhibition and the various rooms.
Lots of history all well explained by a short poster as you enter a room, red books with more detail in each room and very enthusiastic knowledgeable 'explainers' if you have any questions.
Great gift shop and Cafe ( accessible even if you don't tour the Palace).
Small formal Diana sunken garden to walk around.
And of course you get to see the outside of where William & Kate and their children live as well as Harry and Meghan and a few other minor Royals as they all live at the back of Kensington Palace!

Ok palace on the scale of palaces. interesting history. nice grounds

Kensington Palace is beautifully maintained and the tours are extraordinary - actors revive the past and so you get to meet the King s mistress, his confidant and the Queen. The way the Palace is presented to the visitors is very creative and gives you a great impression as to how life at the court has been when Kensington Palace was at the center of court life. Most remarkable is also the presentation of Queen Victoria s childhood including her original toys - all in all, it s worth the visit and besides the way everything is presented, the rooms are of course remarkable. After all, it s a Royal Palace which never ceased to be one.

The gardens were pretty! The palace itself was okay, interesting to see. Don't plan on spending more than an hour here unless you stay in the gardens/park for longer.

It was a nice place to tick off the to-do places. However I would still have had a good trip without coming to this site. If you have limited time, pick other places.

A beautiful time of year to visit especially the sunken garden in full bloom

It was fun but a long trip when you can't in. London was wonderful.

I have visited Kensington Palace just after the refurbishment some years back and I can honestly say that it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it. I think that all visitor's to London should go and have a good look around, plus the Tea house there has some delicious cakes and pastries ect and must not be missed.

Interesting palace and exhibitions, staff are friendly and have great knowledge of the Royals

The palace is lovely with beautifully themed displays that take you through the rooms. The displays about Victoria are outstanding, however, the area covering the reign of William and Mary needs some serious work to refresh it.

Good place to get a feeling of the youth of queen Victoria

Good afternoon out, interesting exhibition on Queen Victoria.

I went to see an exhibition on Queen Victoria. Very topical following the TV series , and the exhibition came alive with actors playing some of the roles such as Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and Lord Conroy . You could speak to them and ask them questions on just about anything and they were clearly very knowledgeable about the topic. Well worth going to see it.

Were lovely place to visit. The detail is amazing and there are so many beautiful paintings on the walls. There is also a room with real diamond tiaras and earring that royals wore.

Grounds and gardens are beautiful! The tour of the state apartments were nice but short. The Diana exhibit was beautiful; however, it would be nice to see more on her charitable works.

I've always wanted to visit here and it didn't disappoint. It was very beautiful and enjoyable.

The exhibition about Queen Victoria's childhood is well presented, but anyone wanting information around Princess Diana would be disappointed.

Really worth working this into your day. Interesting, knowledgeable guides. Particularly liked the guides in character.

A huge park for the kids to play and run around, nice playground with Merry-go-round, a small lake for families to enjoy, away from the busy and overcrowded London city (for little children). Of course there is the Kensington palace to visit, the cafe next door and the Sunken garden where princess Diana enjoyed regularly.

You get a true sense of Queen Victoria's childhood, and life in the palace. Absolutely loved visiting, will return.

I really enjoyed the palace and the surrounding garden. The rainy day made it extra special with a typical Londonian atmosphere.

Not Buckingham but much more accessible. Didn't take the tour this trip, but hope to in the future. The adjacent gardens and park were beautiful and nicely maintained. The items in the gift shop seemed very nice and the ones I checked were actually made in England! People seemed to be enjoying their meals in the cafe. The whole area was nicely busy with happy tourists and local families enjoying the park.

Loved Kensington Palace. The staff were very friendly and informative. It concentrated on the history of Queen Victoria and the Georgian monarchs leading up to her becoming queen. Not too much info to digest and well spread out to allow for social distancing. The cafe seating was outside for weather permitting coffee and snacks.

Looks ordinary from the outside but could be a nice place to spend a couple of hours if you get an invite. Otherwise I won't pay extra to have a peep. Better things to do in central London.

Every corner Every Ceiling is ornate and a sight to see! Do visit !

Wonderful tourist attraction. Small free talks are organised at regular interval that are very informative. It feels good to spend time in lawns if weather is nice and shiny.

Had been to this beautiful palace with family including my little one over Easter weekend break. There was Easter bunny hunt taking place so had taken my 5 year old.
Lovely palace and excellent paintings on display. The best of all is the sunken garden. Amazing display of colourful flowers. It was majestic experience.

There was not a lot to look at inside The Diana exhibit was wonderful though. Directions were poor and it was stuffy. It offers a lot of history but it is not displayed or explained well.

I love the gardens here..It is indeed a great place to visit when you go to London

Really poor value for money. In and out of the available rooms within 30 minutes. Go to Hampton Court Palace or the Tower of London for a better full day out at the same cost

Had a lovely day out here and surprisingly not too busy considering it is the summer holidays. So interesting learning about the history and lots of staff around in period dress happy to answer questions and interact with visitors while keeping to character. You will bump into Prince Albert and Queen Victoria among others. Currently exhibiting Queen Victoria's clothes and personal possessions which is fascinating. Had a gorgeous walk through Kensington Palace gardens afterwards and of course plenty of photo opportunities next to those famous gates. Would definitely recommend.

London is much greener than I thought initially and Kensington Palace Gardens is another proof for that. Lovely garden to walk and relax once you have finished the palace tour. There was not much rush on Saturday when we visited palace.

Magnificent place. Abundance of pathways to roam around this place. Beautiful architecture. Annoying birds and squirrels in neighboring bushes. Would love to come back for more experience.

Have to go there at least once,The Diana dresses exhibit is something else.

Beautiful palace on the back drop of Kensington gardens.

If you go at the right time, they have story tellers who explains the history of the UK monarch and government really well and they are really funny people too!

I love Kensington Palace, it is bigger than l thought.

It was ok but preferred the Tower of London as more interesting.

This place has it all... Clean bathrooms, royal smells, royal food, costumes for kids to play dress up and a mind boggling confusing layout..

PRO TIP... go to the bathroom before you start your tour otherwise when your kids ask you to go potty and you try to find your group, you may need a search party

An excellent place to spend the afternoon at, especially the Victoria 200 exhibition.

This was a great place to explore. As of February 2020 there is a theatre group performing a historical piece within the 16th century part of the palace aka kings rooms. It s a great way to explore the palace if you do and is quite funny

Beautiful well preserved and presented palace and artifacts in an accessible setting. Well worth the visit. Hyde Park and the gardens at Kensington add to the experience greatly. My only tip is if you are going in the summer come well hydrated. This is my 3rd visit and it is warm (very warm) in the palace. Cheers!

Very nice part of Hyde Park. There is a nice garden area that is freely accessible. There is a paid tour with a gift shop and cafe. There is also a lake to see the Queen's swans. Lots of beautiful garden spots. Folks jogging or walking.

The famous and iconic palace where prince and princess of England live, thereof also lying very wide natural park with green grass and trees, pond, lively birds inhabitant as its backyard.

It is not very good. The rooms are simple and empty. Currently, there is an exhibition about Diana and the movie The Favourite.

Awesome place to visit. Beautiful views. Amazing park.... honestly the perfect day

Kensington Palace offers fun for all including those with a family. A lot of history and nice staff. Really interesting.

Cool trip with a great tour. Make sure to get the audible for the self tour when you get through the gate. Bring your own head phones/ear buds for comfort.
