Once a private country house, but now visitors can visit Kensington Palace which was the birthplace of Queen Victoria and home to Princess Diana between 1981-1997.
I did not go in the palace. I stayed at Thistle Kensington Park hotel which is right opposite the palace garden so I went on a walk around the garden and finally discovered the palace, as I do not have the time did not get to go in but manage to get a brochure about the palace.
On permanent display inside the palace are the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection with outfits from the 18th century to the present day including a range of glamorous dresses worn by HM Queen Elizabeth II and unique evening gowns modeled by Diana, Princess of Wales.
It also house 18th Orangery and Sunken Garden designed to host elaborate court entertainments during the reign of Queen Anne.

Kensington Gardens is often regarded as the western part of Hyde Park but is separated from it by a road. Similar to Hyde Park (or let's say: similar to whole London) it has a lot of monuments, statues, fountains and small gardens. The northern part along Bayswater road is rather quite - with the exception of the road itself. Here you will find such peaceful places like the italian gardens. To the south, there is a lively area around Albert Memorial where people meet to play street hockey or for inline skating.
The park is open from 06:00 a.m. until dusk. Leave a Comment

 Royal Albert Hall by littlesam1
My reference to Danielle..."Now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall...I'd love to turn you on." John Lennon ...A Day In The Life.
The hall was completed in 1871. It was originally intended to be called the Hall of Arts and Sciences but Queen Victoria changed it to be named in her husbands memory when she laid the foundation stone in 1868. Leave a Comment Address: Kensington Gore SW7

And there is Danielle again, posing at some gold guilded gates once more. From these pictures it looks like we spent our entire trip looking for gates to pose by. Leave a Comment

 Albert Memorial by cheezecake_deli |
 by BluBluBlu
The design company claimed ' the design aims to reflect Diana's life, water flows from the highest point in two directions as it cascades, swirls and bubbles before meeting in a calm pool at the bottom'. Londoners still hated it!
Almost as soon as it opened it had to close as the design was seen to be dangerous, with various kiddies slipping and hurting themselves!
Maybe overtime people will get to like it... Leave a Comment Address: Hyde Park
