Kensington Palace
Meilleur moment pour visiter
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.
Conseils budget
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.
Recommandé pour
History enthusiasts, Royal family followers, Architecture lovers, Families with older kids

À propos
Faits rapides: Le Sunken Garden du palais a été transformé en mémorial pour la princesse Diana en 2017, avec 4 000 fleurs saisonnières qui fleurissent à différents moments de l'année. Plus de 500 000 visiteurs franchissent ses grilles en fer forgé chaque année, beaucoup espérant apercevoir un membre de la royauté agitant la main depuis le balcon ou une photo de bébé royal devant la Lindo Wing à proximité.
Points forts: Le palais possède encore une buanderie en activité qui repasse à la main le linge de la reine avec une essoreuse vieille de 150 ans, et vous pouvez parfois sentir l'arôme de la lavande flotter dans les pièces d'apparat. À l'étage, une porte secrète déguisée en bibliothèque permettait autrefois au personnel royal de se déplacer entre les ailes sans être vu, une astuce victorienne qui trompe encore les visiteurs aujourd'hui.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
