Kensington Palace

Kensington Palace in London is one of the most famous royal residences in the United Kingdom, located within the beautiful surroundings of Kensington Gardens. The palace has been home to generations of the British royal family and offers visitors the chance to explore its historic State Apartments and exhibitions that reveal the lives of past monarchs. Inside the palace, elegant rooms filled with artwork, decorative furnishings and royal artefacts tell the stories of figures such as Queen Victoria and Princess Diana. Beyond the palace walls, visitors can also enjoy the landscaped gardens, including the tranquil Sunken Garden and the historic Orangery, creating a peaceful setting in the heart of the city.

Accessibility is thoughtfully considered to support a mobility friendly visit. Wheelchair access is available throughout much of the palace, with ramps and lifts providing access to key areas including the State Apartments and exhibition spaces. Accessible toilets are available on site, and wheelchairs can be borrowed on a first come, first served basis to assist visitors who may need additional support during their visit.

Additional accessibility resources are available to support visitors with different needs. Braille and large print guides help visitors with visual impairments explore the exhibitions, and audio guides may be available to provide descriptive information about the palace and its displays. Kensington Palace can become busy during peak periods, so visitors with sensory sensitivities may prefer to visit during quieter times to enjoy a more relaxed experience.

Registered assistance dogs are welcome throughout the palace and its public areas, ensuring visitors who rely on support animals can explore comfortably. With its grand royal interiors, historic exhibitions and accessible visitor facilities, Kensington Palace offers an engaging and inclusive experience in one of London’s most significant historic landmarks.
