During our last visit to London we stayed near Kensington Palace. Since we were so close I decided to add it to our itinerary.
The palace has housed royals since the 1600’s and now contains residences for current royals. Unfortunately they keep the tourist areas far from the royal apartments so no royal sightings for us.
The palace has a lovely garden that I am sure is even more beautiful in the spring and summer (we were there in the winter).
As part of the exhibit one gets to see many rooms of the palace but what I found more interesting was the dresses and royal items that they had for display.
The walls were filled with beautiful paintings as well.
Also great about this museum is the history of Queen Victoria’s reign on display here. She spent her whole life in the palace. A good amount of the exhibits were about her and her life in the palace.
These interesting dolls were on display as well.
Rooms were dedicated to childhood fantasies of the royals. This particular display was interesting.
Around the entrance there is a touch of modern art as well.
Gold is abundant in the decor and artwork throughout.
There was much more to see throughout so it is definitely worth a visit. I thoroughly enjoyed the house and the lessons in history that it contained. I hope to visit again to view the gardens in their glory.
