I have lived in London all my life (50 Years) and for the first time this week ventured inside Kensington Palace. It was well worth the visit, to walk around you soon realise that this is far bigger than you imagine from the outside, at the moment there is a room dedicated to Princes Diana which displays some of her dresses and a collection of photos by Mario Testino, i am not ashamed to admit that this was very moving experience that brought a tear to my eye, simply stunning photos that were worth the admission fee alone.
Last Visit: January 2007

(Report Problem)Queen Victoria was born in this palace in 1819, and Princess Margaret and
other royals still reside here. A Jacobean mansion in Kensington Gardens
(next to Hyde Park), Kensington Palace was the London residence of the late
Diana, Princess of Wales. Visitor attractions include the state apartments
and the Royal ceremonial dress collection. Lunch and tea are served in the
Orangery or the Winter Cafe (depending on the time of year), which is open
from 9am-6pm daily......
Princess Margaret has passed away and I think
as a mark of respect this site should be up dated ..Princess Margaret is
was the sister of the Queen of England

(Report Problem)Kensington Palace is definitely one of the places to see. There are several attractions within a minutes walk so plan to spend an afternoon in the vicinity. The gates on Kensington High Street are your first hint that there is something there worth seeing. After Princess Di's death there are flowers there seven days a week. Make sure that while you are there you walk the grounds and go see the Albert & Victoria Hall.
