Christmas at Kensington Palace, Walk, High Tea & Palace Entry
Overview
First, we stroll around Kensington Gardens & learn of its long history. We will see the beautiful gardens Albert created for his wife Queen Victoria & take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up. After viewing Diana's statue you will be guided to your reserved table where you will enjoy a full high tea before entering the Palace to see the Christmas Exhibits for a self guided tour.
Victoria’s Countryside Christmas — A seasonal interpretation of Princess Victoria’s childhood Christmas traditions, recreated inside the rooms where she grew up. Expect Regency‑style décor, intimate family‑holiday details, and atmospheric winter storytelling by Palace Staff.
Winter theming throughout the State Apartments — Red‑brick courtyards, quieter winter galleries, and festive touches woven into the palace’s historical route.
. The tour itself does not include any guide gratuities and are entirely at your discretion.
