Review of Kensington Palace Gardens Royal High Tea, with garden history, royal stories, afternoon tea, pricing, access, and practical tips.
“You should know the garden tour prior to the tea is more a park setting (with runners and dog walkers) than actual gardens with flowers. Our guide, Paul, is a treasure trove of knowledge with added humor, making it enjoyable as well as interesting. I believe I read in one of the reviews to wear comfshoes. I wore a pair of flats that are normally comfortable but for this tour in the park a pair of sneakers would have been more appropriate. The Palace tour is ca great add on as well.”
