Pre book your tickets now and get fast track entry to Kensington Palace PLUS pay less than you would on the day.

Kensington Palace has been a royal home for over 300 years and parts of the palace remain a private residence for members of the Royal Family today. The magnificent State Apartments and the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, which includes dresses worn by HM Queen Elizabeth II and Diana, Princess of Wales, are open to the public.

Kensington Palace was once a favoured home of some of Britain's most famous kings and queens and the setting for many great events and dramas in royal history. Originally a private country house, the building was acquired by William III and Mary II in 1689 and was adapted for royal residence by Sir Christopher Wren. For the next 70 years the palace was at the centre of the life and government of the kingdom and played host to the courts of William and Mary, Queen Anne, George I and George II. In the 19th century Kensington was the birthplace and childhood home of Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria).

Kensington's best known resident in recent years was Diana, Princess of Wales (1961-97) who occupied apartments in the north-west part of the palace from 1981 to 1997.

Kew Palace was the family country house of King George III, between 1800 and 1818

'Where the royal family lived as the 'simplest country gentlefolks'

It's surprisingly intimate

More like a home than a palace, the privacy and intimacy of this smallest of English royal palaces made it the favourite country retreat for the royal family in the late 18th century.

It's been lovingly restored, re-presented with some rooms left untouched

The palace reopened to the public in April 2006 after a widely acclaimed restoration. The palace tells the story of George III and his family at rest at and play. Explore the unique second floor of the palace, the bedroom floor - untouched for 200 years.

They said it...

'... it seems a happy house, not quite a doll's house but a palace by default. Paradoxically, it's Windsor with its glazed brick and elaborate crenellations that looks like a 19th-century mental institution, with Kew the ideal home.'

The cottage is found at the southern end of Kew Gardens, near the Pagoda. It is open at weekends and bank holidays during the summer.
