Princess Diana also notably lived here, and her legacy is still celebrated within the palace. Other prominent residents include George I, George II, and Queen Mary II, making it a rich site for royal history.

The palace also features the serene Sunken Garden and hosts various temporary exhibitions displaying breathtaking art. A highlight is encountering a rare collection of Princess Diana's most famous garments.
Yes, tickets are required to access the main exhibitions and State Apartments inside Kensington Palace. These tickets grant entry to areas like the King’s State Apartments, the Queen's Apartments, and any temporary exhibitions. While the surrounding Kensington Gardens are generally accessible, interior access, including the historically significant rooms, requires a valid admission ticket.
Kensington Palace is easily accessible via London's public transportation network. The nearest Underground stations are High Street Kensington (served by the District and Circle lines), Notting Hill Gate (Central, District, and Circle lines), and Queensway (Central line). From these stations, the palace is a short and pleasant walk through Kensington Gardens. Several bus routes also have stops conveniently close to the palace entrance.
Kensington Palace does not enforce a strict dress code; visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable attire suitable for walking and exploring the historic site. However, guests are requested to observe standard museum etiquette, such as refraining from touching exhibits, respecting designated photography restrictions, and ensuring any large bags are stored in provided cloakrooms for safety and security.
While interior access to Kensington Palace's exhibitions and State Apartments requires a ticket, the magnificent Kensington Gardens that encompass the palace are free for all to explore.

Kensington Palace is historically significant as a more private, intimate royal residence, most notably as Queen Victoria's birthplace and childhood home, and a long-term residence for Princess Diana.

Both offer distinct perspectives on royal life, with Kensington focusing more on personal stories.
