Kew Palace is a delightful royal retreat in the heart of Kew Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Step inside this wonderful doll's house of a palace and into a uniquely intimate exploration of royal domestic life. Explore authentically restored Georgian rooms enjoyed by George III, his wife Queen Charlotte and their 15 children and discover the real story behind the 'madness of George III'. The stunning Royal Kitchens will spark your imagination as you sense the presence of the people who prepared, cooked and served food for the royal household, almost 200 years ago. Entry to Kew Palace and Queen Charlotte's cottage is included with a Kew Gardens ticket.
Amazing place, full of history and science everywhere. A great pleasure to our eyes. The staff and volunteers are very helpful and knowledgeable, happy to help at all times. So much to see! You will need more than a couple of days to see all and still all changes every day. We are planning to visit in different seasons because for sure the views will be different.
Kew Palace is a definite must do when at the gardens. It's only open a few months out of the year so make sure you plan ahead. If you are a Bridgerton/ Queen Charlotte fan then you will really love walking around the house and grounds. They have really taken care to preserve so much and it was fun to get up close to lots of special touches that were exposed.
Kew Palace is worth a visit. The only downside is you have to purchase a ticket to Kew Gardens if you want to visit. You only get a 10% discount off your Kew Gardens entry using your Historical Palaces card. The history of the Palace and the royalty that lived there makes this definitely a worthwhile visit. Staff are knowledgeable.
Kew palace was once home and insane asylum to "Mad King" George III. The rooms are fully furnished. The exhibit provides interesting information about the history of house and its inhabits. Friendly and helpful staff in historical costumes. Free entry.
Lovely place , you can go here whole year something good going on . Will recommend to my friends and families
We arrived at noon and left at 5pm and did not see all of the gardens and buildings. Lots to do and see, well worth the entry fee. The land train and the pagoda charge additional fees. Didn't do either so cannot comment if worth it. The gardens are beautifully maintained and well signposted. The galleries, greenhouses and palace are interesting and full of history. It was a busy Saturday in July and there were lots of people but it didn't affect our visit. We didn't have to queue to do anything and you could find a quiet spot easily if you wanted to. There were interactive activities for children. There are plenty of cafes in the park but very expensive in my opinion. A scotch egg was PS7.50 and a sausage roll PS6.75. I will be visiting again but will bring a picnic next time. Unfortunately, the park is also on the flight path to the airport and there are planes flying over regularly which is a shame. Overall, a great place to visit if you are interested in horticulture and history or if you just enjoy walking in beautiful surroundings.
