Historic Royal Palaces is an independent charity

Support our six wonderful palaces

Historic Royal Palaces is an independent charity, who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world; Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace, and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. 

We raise funds so that our palaces can be open and accessible to everyone. That means conserving these iconic buildings and collections, conducting research into their rich history, and telling the stories of the palaces and the people who occupied them in new and inspiring ways.  

Unlike many national museums and heritage sites across the UK, we receive no ongoing government support. We rely on the support of donors, partners, patrons, members and visitors to help us create accessible and engaging experiences across our palaces. 

There are many ways you can support us and help give our palaces a future, for everyone.

To celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, we transformed the Tower of London's moat into 'Superbloom' - a spectacular field of flowers - to enhance people's wellbeing and create a beautiful garden in the heart of London. This film captures the experience of some of the participants and the impact of the project on their schools

To celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, we transformed the Tower of London's moat into 'Superbloom' - a spectacular field of flowers in the heart of London. We wanted to make the Tower’s Superbloom a truly national experience, so we invited schools around the UK to take part in the School Superbloom project. Watch this film where we capture the experience of some of the participants and the impact of the project on their schools.

A low angle view of the White Tower looking north, September 2007. Framed against a blue sky with white clouds. A leafy tree overhangs the frame on the right of the image. The White Tower was begun in the reign of William the Conqueror (1066-87) and completed by 1100. The fortress was originally faced with huge blocks of pale marble-like Caen stone imported from Normandy. In 1636-8 the external appearance of the White Tower was significantly altered with the replacement of much of its cut-stone work and window surrounds with Portland stone. The primary role of the White Tower was as a fortress and stronghold but it also served as a royal residence and as the setting for major governmental and ceremonial functions.
