Kensington Palace
Bedste tid at besøge
Visit on a weekday morning right when gates open at 9:30 AM to avoid the biggest crowds. Summer months (July-September) are the only time the State Rooms are open, so plan ahead.
Budgettips
Tickets cost £30 for adults, but children under 17 go half price and under-5s enter free. A family ticket saves about 15%, and the London Pass includes entry with skip-the-line access.
Anbefalet til
History enthusiasts, Royal family followers, Architecture lovers, Families with older kids

Om
Hurtige fakta: Paladsets Sunken Garden blev omdannet til et mindesmærke for prinsesse Diana i 2017 med 4.000 sæsonbestemte blomster, der blomstrer på forskellige tidspunkter af året. Over 500.000 besøgende passerer gennem dets smedejernsporte årligt, mange i håb om at få et glimt af en kongelig, der vinker fra balkonen eller et kongeligt babyfoto uden for det nærliggende Lindo Wing.
Højdepunkter: Paladset har stadig et fungerende vaskeri, der håndpresser dronningens linned med en 150 år gammel mangle, og du kan nogle gange dufte lavendelstivelsen drive gennem statssalene. Ovenpå gemmer en hemmelig dør forklædt som en bogreol sig, som engang lod kongeligt personale bevæge sig uset mellem fløjene, et victoriansk trick, der stadig narrer besøgende i dag.
Insidertips
- Skip the audio guide queue by downloading the free app on your phone before you arrive.
- The Changing of the Guard happens at 11:00 AM but show up by 10:15 for a spot at the front gates.
- Photography is banned inside the State Rooms, but the garden and exterior shots are fair game from the front lawn.
- Wear comfortable shoes: the State Room tour covers nearly a kilometer of marble floors and red-carpeted corridors.
