Express Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace Tour

Take a tour of London history at the Kensington Palace and Gardens

This guided walk unlocks the secrets of Kensington Gardens, where every monument and garden tells a royal story. Pass a Gothic Revival tribute from a grieving, widowed queen, a fountain honoring a beloved princess, and a whimsical statue inspired by a real-life character who sprinkled pixie dust in these very gardens. Plus, wander past a pond dug by royal order 300 years ago, an ornamental garden gifted between generations, and a serene stretch of water where wildlife thrives.

After the walk, enjoy pre-reserved entry to Kensington Palace, the birthplace of a queen and home to young royals for centuries. You’ll also get to explore the State Apartments at your own pace, soaking in its history without the rush.
