Tickets to Kensington Palace are shockingly expensive, but the tour started off well enough, with several rooms with large glass cases with wax figures getting prepared for a Royal event. After the first three rooms or so, though, it turned into "filler" material- Interesting and vaguely amusing exhibition, but not worth the price of the ticket. Things pick up when... more

The gardens of Kensington Palace, on the outskirts of Hyde Park, simply cannot be beat anywhere in London in my opinion. And the good news is that they are free to visit. Should you want to venture inside, Kensington Palace is different enough from both Buckingham and Windsor to be interesting as you wander through the state rooms. You can... more

A wonderful tour .The Diana dresses and Debutantes exhibition are superb!.You are transported back to the days when girls WERE girls!no LADETTES here!It is well laid out and gives a real feel to bygone days.The state rooms are also a joy to see as they are included in the admission.A really good day out for the whole family. more

We visited KP last weekend and we have very mixed feelings about this place. The staff were very strange! The bag searching woman was very loud and although cheery a bit OTT! We started off with the audio guide but went back to the first room to take part in the Queen Victoria tour. I felt a bit sorry for... more

If you have some time, drop by Kensington Palace. I wasn't overwhelmed by it the way I was with Buckingham, but that's to be expected considering this was originally intended to be a private getaway for the royal family and not a big showpiece palace. The interior is rather underwhelming, but the outside is beautiful, the gardens are amazing and... more

I expected a little more from Kensington Palace. The outside is rather drab. We took the tour, which I believe was 12 pounds (a little overpriced). The first couple of rooms you get to see on the tour are quite interesting. They're about the day-to-day lives of the people that lived there, including costumes, and fabrics and tools used by... more

I visited Kensington Palace as I am a Diana fan. Overall I found it very interesting visiting the place where she lived for 10 years even though you are not allowed into the area where she lived as it house the queens relatives and staff now. Princess Margaret’s apartments had a display going about the debutante life in the ‘50s.... more

I have been to Kensington Palace twice, last on 3/14/08, and each time has been better. We got there on a Friday morning about 10am and had one hot tea, one orange juice and shared a slice of cake at The Orangery(11.42BP or $23.75, no its not a misprint)before we went in the Palace. You get a really cool plastic... more

We visited KP primarily because it was very close to our hotel. We had read the information that there wasn't much to it but since we were in the neighborhood... Big mistake. It is a complete waste of money, in my opinion. The best part, the grounds, can be toured for free. The rooms were a little shabby and after... more
