Kensington Palace

A palace of secret stories and public lives

Kensington Palace is now closed for major renovation.
It will re-open on 26 March 2012.

We are now completing the final stages of a £12 million transformation of the Palace. Upon opening, explore our new gardens, shop, café and terrace as well as four redesigned visitor routes revealing both the secret and public lives of Kensington's inhabitants.

Discover stories from Queen Victoria's life told in her own words in the new Victoria Revealed exhibition; master the games of royal court in the magnificent King's State Apartments; get a glimpse of a modern Princess in a special exhibition of some of Diana's dresses and uncover the secrets of a fragile dynasty in the beautiful Queen's State Apartments. A new lift will make the Palace accessible to all and, from 26 March 2012, Kids go Free.

The £12 million transformation has been possible due to the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, several trusts, foundations and individual donors and members of the public who have donated to our appeal.
