The Kensington Palace Experience
Overview
First, we stroll around Kensington Gardens & learn of its long history with a local guide who is passionate about our Island's traditions & heritage. We will see the beautiful gardens Albert created for Queen Victoria & take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up.
Our final stop is to the beautiful Diana Garden where her statue was unveiled by William & Harry.
We offer two options for this tour.
Many guests experience the full splendour of High Tea at the Orangery with a tutored guide to the fascinating history of our national drink & the ceremony of afternoon tea.
Others choose the A La Carte Option. Seated at your private table in the Orangery you can make your own choices from the A La Carte menu, including a full lunch or brunch at your own expense.
