Attraction Introduction

Kensington Palace, located in Kensington Gardens, is one of the most important residences of the British Royal Family and was also the home of Princess Diana. While smaller than Buckingham Palace, it offers a closer look at the daily life of the Royal Family, with exhibits focusing on members of the Royal Family and their personal stories from different eras. Visitors can explore the King and Queen's State Rooms, the Royal Costumes exhibit, and related historical sections, gaining insights into the changing lives and roles of the British Royal Family across different periods. It is a royal attraction that combines historical and cultural significance.

How to Get There

To get to Kensington Palace, take the subway to High Street Kensington or Queensway station, from where it's about a 10-15 minute walk. Bus lines 9, 49, and 70 also stop around Kensington Gardens. Parking is limited near the palace, so driving isn't very convenient; public transportation is recommended. If you have enough time, you can also walk through Kensington Gardens to reach the palace – a tranquil and leisurely experience.

Travel Tips

Kensington Palace is relatively less crowded, making for a more relaxed pace of visit. It's recommended to allow time for a stroll through Kensington Gardens. Some exhibits are indoors, making them suitable for visits on inclement days; focus on taking photos of the gardens and exterior areas.
