About Kensington Palace & Gardens

Guarantee your entry time and bypass the ticket desk queues with this official advance admission ticket.

When searching for the top London attractions, Kensington Palace & Gardens is a spectacular destination steeped in over 300 years of history. As the birthplace of Queen Victoria and the current official London residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, walking in the footsteps of royalty through the lavish King's State Apartments is truly unforgettable. From uncovering intimate royal stories to admiring the famous Sunken Garden where Princess Diana's memorial statue resides, a visit here is undeniably one of the most enchanting things to do in London. However, because it remains a working royal residence, public access is heavily regulated. Walk-up gate prices are always more expensive, and since entry is strictly timed, peak time slots frequently sell out, leaving spontaneous visitors disappointed. If you want to skip the ticket desk queues and secure the cheapest tickets, you must book online in advance. Plus, there is no need to scour the web for a promo code—the best available discount and latest offers are automatically applied at checkout when using our verified partner links. **Click below to book your Kensington Palace & Gardens tickets online in advance and secure the cheapest entry today.**

2. The King's State Apartments

Walk up the magnificent grand staircase to the lavish, empty rooms used by King George I and George II to entertain courtiers and politicians.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get the cheapest tickets for Kensington Palace & Gardens? expand_more

The best way to secure the cheapest tickets and access the latest offers is to book online in advance. Standard gate admission costs more, but by booking digitally through our verified affiliate link, the best available discount is automatically applied to your order. You do not need to hunt for a promo code to get this rate.

Is Kensington Palace & Gardens worth it? expand_more

Yes, it is absolutely worth it and frequently ranks among the top London attractions. While some royal sites only offer empty halls, Kensington Palace provides deeply personal exhibitions, including Queen Victoria's childhood rooms and Queen Mary's cozy State Apartments. The stunning grounds, including the Sunken Garden and Diana statue, make it a must-visit for any royal enthusiast.

Can I buy tickets on the day / at the gate? expand_more

While there is a ticket office on-site, we strongly advise against buying tickets on the day. Walk-up gate prices are significantly more expensive than online rates, and because capacity is limited, time slots frequently sell out—especially on weekends and during school holidays. To guarantee your entry and save money, always book online in advance.
