WILDWORKS, Kensington Palace Review

A bit dissapointing. Quite dull, dreary and not much to see.

I absolutely loved my experience at Kensington Palace with Zoe Beggs..

A fantastic place to visit. It is inside Hyde Park, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Historical palace, well maintained. Very helpful and friendly staff. The palace has restaurant as well restrooms. Palace is approachable by wheelchair. A must visit place. The ticket cost is GBP 21/- for adults.

Very informative and feel personal. Got to know the royal family a bit deeper.

Splendid house with relics of the Victorian age inserted in a wonderful park. Excellent organization and courtesy of all the staff.

A must visit! This historical place is full of interesting stories! The garden is spectacular! Just spend the day there next to princess Diana memorial fountain and walk allll through the gardens to discover the mesmerizing parts of it!

Enjoyed the history of Queen Elizabeth. Loved the palace.

Great small palace relative to others. Queen Victoria's childhood home.

Not a disappointment - a must see for any Princess Diana fan
I just returned from a 8-night vacation in London. We spent our Sunday visiting Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. I do NOT agree with the 3 previous reviewers, saying the tour is not a must see in London. Yes, it is nothing like Windsor Castle and the breathtaking furnishings and paintings; however, the Princess Diana photo collection by Mario Testino is simply beautiful. These were photos taken a few months before she passed away. They show a fun and softer, more down to earth and playful side to the Princess. In addition to the several rooms of photographs, the Palace has a display of 9 of Princess Diana's dresses that had been sold at auction before her death. One is particular is the black velvet, off the shoulder dress she wore at her first White House dinner as Princess, where she danced with John Travolta. Besides, the Princess Diana collection, guests are shown the apartment where Princess Margaret lived and artifacts from the Royal Seamstresses, etc. You get to feel the fabrics used in construction of beautiful Royal clothing in the 1600's. Outside the Palace is a large and beautiful statue of Queen Victoria, as she was born and lived in Kensington Palace

I expected more for the entrance fee. Very well presented. Staff very friendly & knowledgable. Hoped to see more on Diana princess of wales but it was more about queen victoria.

Great place to walk around, imagined it would be so lovely to go during the spring!

Beautiful surroundings. Favourite was the ctown jewels

A lovely extensive park in the East End, lots of places to relax, do a bit of activity, take a walk or pick up some food on the weekends

Always worth a visit. Nice cafe, very spacious, shop selling souvenirs. Lovely place to take pictures outside the grounds and great place to sit and unwind, weather permitting.

Huge space, dogs everywhere. Such a great place for a jog in the morning or ppl/dog watching from a bench

Prince Harry stood solemnly looking outside of the Kensington Palace.
His mind could only concentrate on the anger over the recent event in The Buchart Gardens.
Prince Harry promptly declared war on the entire world. This war lasted for only 10 seconds because, as he finished the declaration, every single Amazon Alexa in the United Kingdom turned into a nuke.
He saw the devastation unfold as one by one the androids blew up.
He prayed to the only being who had helped him in the past.
The Star Buck just before the Kensington Palace exploded flew the Prince out of there.

Nice palace although small in comparison to others. However, it was very interesting especially in terms of the history of the place and people who lived there, and is especially good for Proncess Diana fans. The gardens are amazingly beautiful also.

Give yourself a couple of hours to cruise through. We did a self guided tour and bypassed the garden. Nice palace, I'd take it.

A wonderful half day spent. The palace gardens are incredibly green. There are multiple entrances to the palace. So be sure to check out where you want to enter from. We walked for about 20 minutes enjoying the greenery and the pond. The palace itself is majestic. A London pass helps you get in quickly. Diana's clothes on display and a section of the palace dedicated to little girls dressing up as princesses with wigs was the best that my daughter enjoyed. The staff are sweet and friendly. The place is very child friendly.

Been in London so many times, but never had the chance to visit this area. Lovely gardens, the palace is like a palace :) which personally i won't recommend to pay for the excess entrance. But again is up to you :))

Nice & relaxing biggest park at kensington area.
Location based at central london, mear by hyde park & green park tube station

A perfect palace to learn about the Hanoverians and Queen Victoria's childhood

I did not hate this place, but hugely disappointed in the ugly architecture, I thought it would have looked far more regal than it was.

I have just visited Kensington palace and it was fantastic , made better by the wonderful staff . They were full of knowledge and enthusiasm . The whole experience was brilliant .

Always good spot for a lazy stroll around Hyde Park and the gardens are beautiful cared for all year round.

Beautiful palace and the better of the 2 in London. Gardens are nice.

Very scenic and beautiful place, I'd recommend to walk about in Hyde Park for a frisk morning before going here. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The Afternoon tea menu was superb. All dishes was very nice and it is more than enough for one person. Prices was also very cheap.
Can't say anything that was out of order except that our teas were served in the wrong order, but that was settled quickly.

The exhibits open to the public are wonderful. Lots of history and the employees are full of knowledge- ask them questions because you will learn so much more. As it's connected to gardens and two parks, you can take a lovely stroll to burn off any scones you may have eaten.

Good value. The exhibitions were interesting and we could have easily spend more hours there if we weren't in a rush with the London Pass...

A really wonderful place to learn about the history of the Palace. Very well maintained as well. A part of the palace was dedicated to Princess Diana and her fashion. The gift shop had very nice souvenirs related to the palace and the staff there were very friendly and attentive.

Had a great days exploring around the area of Kensington. Also stopped off at Kensington Palace for a look around the history of the Palace.

Had a wonderful experience visiting with my husband. Lots of wonderful displays! Would recommend.

A beautiful palace with lovely painting and decor plus gardens. Well worth a visit

I loved this place and the gardens because I loved to see the doggies off leash in the park! They all seemed so happy. Well maintained. Very large park. Diana exhibit is well done and I will always wonder how they get the dresses to stand up in form like they do.

Just completed the tour at Kensington palace for the Kings apartments absolutely fabulous and worth the time. Took about an hour our tour guide Hannah was brilliant and the other actors played their parts so well it bought the whole experience alive.

Wonderful site for tourists. I went to the UK for 3 weeks and made it a mission to visit most of the royal palaces. Wonderful heritage, lots of history and antiquities. Give yourself a good 1-2hours to well visit and check out everything. And since you re there go check out the Kensington Gardens as well, it s beautiful.

Very interesting tour of the palace
Actors playing parts of the king and queen, so we were drawn in to see their world, we were entertained, included and at the end we could ask questions, you learn more history this way than just looking around
The palace is rich in interesting pieces of furniture and art

Landscape and flowers change every season! Garden beauty at its best.

Worth watching Diana s fashion story and Queen Victoria s secrets revealed .. otherwise not worth the 25 Quid

Loved seeing the real place where the stories took place centuries ago.

Beautiful palace, in one of the cities best parks. If you intend on entering the palace, allow yourself plenty of time for the queue!

Spent the afternoon here last week and had a great time. Lovely grounds for kids to run about. Worth a visit.

Disappointed only one Diana dress and Victoria suite closed. Excellent female tour guide really bought the Palace to life. Would have been 5 stars if exhibit had been open. Will be back to see it at another time. But will check prior to visit.

Another great hystorical place with beautiful gardens

Had the most fun with family and the staff was very kind and friendly

An excellent exhibition celebrating the life of Queen Victoria

Great and beautiful palace and the garden and park. Queen Victoria exhibition is great and touching, it makes me get to know deeper about the history of England.

Pretty park. Rotating exhibits; ours included Young Victoria.
Visit the gardens!!!
Cute gift shop.

Nice if you're into British history; give it a skip if you have young kids.

We ve toured Kensington Palace twice and I would honestly do it again! I love the dress exhibit, which features pieces from Queen a Victoria and Princess Diana! There are also such lovely gardens surrounding the entire palace!

A nice palace surrounded by vast and wide garden in the central of London city. Not as crowded and touristy as Kensington palace. I did not get the chance to see the inside of the palace though, only strolling around its garden so I can't comment on the inside of the palace

Very pleasant experience, nice walks about the area.

Kensington Palace is lovely spot with great perminant and temporary exhibitions. I loved going around the galleries and the Victoria rooms. There is a nice cafe and beautiful gardens.

We are unable to go for a tour in the castle, but we had a picnic in the park. Incredible place( be aware of the birds,lol)

Great visit. Great palace and modest compared to Buckingham. Enjoyed the history.

Was good especially Princess Diana exhibition but as last weekend of exhibition was very busy and had to wait a while queuing which once you got to exhibition felt rushed and it shut around 4pm. As busy 5om would have been better.

If you can catch the Diana dress exhibition and the have a leisurely stroll through the palace. Don't expect the rooms to be filled with items from the Royal collection but still plenty to see.

Really lovely all that history staff very helpful you could ask them any question any you would get a good answer would go again

Kensington Palace is well worth the visit the property is steeped in history. Having seen how the Palace used to look back in the day was an eye opener. A lot of love and devotion has gone into this property. Highly recommend you go and check it out for yourself.

With a perfect weather it's wonderful to walk around

it's beautifully done.. all of the exhibits are first class. my favourite place in london

Absolutely worth a visit! You get to see a lot for the price of one ticket. It's fun to imagine their life back then.

If you purchase your ticket online, make sure you arrive on time and not too early. I arrived 40 minutes early and had to spend almost 15 minutes in the queue so I could get the ticket changed to an earlier time.

The Diana exhibition was totally amazing. You get to see so many outfits and learn so much about the meaning of certain colors, styles and fabrics. I teared up a few times reading about Diana.

Visited on a lovely sunny day with a friend. From the outside the palace isn t as grandiose as others, but the surrounding gardens are beautiful. And inside the palace we visited Princess Diana s dresses and Queen Victoria s rooms. Such a treat!

The Palace was nice to go see and check out, however, you don t really get to see a whole lot of it. There is some interesting artwork and descriptions of the rooms and people that lived there. I was a bit underwhelmed, honestly. Gardens hadn t yet bloomed, but I m sure they ll look amazing in a few weeks. We spent less than an hour walking through, checking out the art and reading the descriptive signs, as we had missed the first tour by half an hour. Maybe the tour would be more informative? Tours were spaced out every 3 hours, which wasn t helpful. You can t go drink tea for 3 hours in the gift shop waiting for a tour to start. Glad our tickets were included in the London Pass. Priced a bit high for what you get.

Very interesting indeed. Focused on Queen Victoria's childhood apartment mainly. The interactive furniture was great. Especially enjoyed the 'theatre' and spent some time listening to the 'opera'. Also look at the little figurines found More

A great place to visit and near some excellent parks as well.

Amazing atmosphere. The gardens were probably my favorite part personally

Pretty to see, didnt do tour just walked around outside

Lovely park, you can relax walking, cycling and watching people! Italian garden is special, a lots of parots!

Fantastic experience for anyone a fan of history and the monarchy. Princess Diana exhibit was a highlight.

Great British History!
I felt British Royal Family's History, and Princess Diana's Popularity is great globally.

I lost count of the exact number of accounts on social media but people claimed to be from british royal are asking me to give money. I'm from Massachusetts. People have description of many situation

The gardens are spectacular in the spring and summer! The palace is beautiful! Princess Diana s gowns were on display when we were there, exquisite! She had exceptional taste. The park is a great place to sit, relax, people watch. On a nice day, tons of people and their pets are out.

It's a little expensive to enter but I thought the knowledge you gained was worth the price. I would recommend attending the small talks they have which really inform you about the history of the palace and its inhabitants. The palace itself is not extremely impressive but the history that occurred here makes up for it.

The Kensington Palace is set in a beautiful expansive park together with The Diana, Princess of Wales Children Playground and the Round Pond. The Sunken Garden and Hyde Park and several other attractions are extensions of the park.

Lovely well groomed park with good views and seats, walking trails and playground for kids.

I saw many people exercising here at different times of the day.
You get to pay to access a tour of the palace with some parts of the palace being used as gift shop and Tea Cafe. The gift shop and Tea Cafe are free to enter.

Not as ornate as Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle but if you enjoy history it's worth visiting. No guided tours of any kind not even audio. Disappointing. At this time July 2018 can only see the Diana exhibition of her dresses and how her style changed as she became less shy. And then the Queen's staterooms and King's staterooms. Remember this is a current residence of William and Harry. So rest of palace is off limits.

However one can take photos inside (no flash) which is prohibited at other palaces and castles.

Much noise around Princess Diana to bring the tourist who will remain hungry. A single showcase is dedicated to her with a tailor. After that, it's the visit of the rooms of the castle.

I found inside the Palace incredibly dark, I understand this was to preserve the fabrics and furnishings of the rooms but made for a somewhat gloomy visit. Some of Princess Diana's and Princess Margaret's clothes were on display albeit not the most popular one's. I preferred Buckingham Palace between the two.

Interesting need to learn more about Victoria's early life

So beautiful and very informative. It was such a great area! I really was glad to get to visit. We had no issues getting in with the london pass, and it was really not crowded either. Was nice to have a easy walk in and out of all the rooms. Also nice to have an exhibit where you can actually take pictures!
