16,306 reviews

As the official London home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge—along with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—Kensington Palace's fame rivals that of Buckingham Palace. Will and Kate aren't the only members of the royal family to walk the halls of Kensington Palace, though; King George II, Queen Victoria, Queen Anne, Princess Margaret, and Princess Diana have all also called Kensington Palace home.

What are people saying about Kensington Palace

Kim_P, Sept 2023
Fantastic morning
Walking tour was great. Saw the major events and areas of Westminster in a walk that last a little over 3 hours. We were given tickets for afternoon Kensington Palace tour for 2:30 pm. We were unable to make that part due to an already scheduled tour at 2 pm. Would check with tour agents about length of total event before booking other tours on the same day. Our tour guide Benedict was great. Insightful and fun guide. Highly recommend!
Taylor_D, Sept 2023
