Kensington Palace and the Sunken Gardens in London

in Worldmappin2 years ago

Kensington Palace, another of the Royals homes

Monarchies, not many left!

Maybe there is a reason for it.

And the UK Monarchy is still one of the most popular in the World and even after the Queen's death and the Crowning of the new King Charles III and all the dramas and discontent by many. The British Monarchy it doesn't show signs to slow down and go anywhere.

They keep multiplying at an alarming speed actually.

And the Kensington Palace is another of their homes.

This might be one of those that do not look like much but it's monetary value it is incredible high. But I don't want to get to deep into the Royals themes, because that would be a whole other conversation.

Do you think she is lost and can't find the Palace?

You can enter and visit this place. And let me tell you. IT IS EXPENSISE!
So I would recommend to just visit the area and appreciate it from the outside.

But if you are really curious and waiting in a long queue outside is your thing. You might as well do it. Although that lady doesn't seem to be happy with the waiting.

The Surroundings

The whole area around the Palace is beautiful and you can get to enjoy it completely for free. Make sure you pick a sunny day and you will be able to enjoy a nice break in the area and still appreciate all the beauty the area have to offer.

I personally think it is way better to just sit around and enjoy it that way. Because what's inside might look awesome but probably is nothing that you haven't seen before.

The Sunken Gardens

Just next to the Palace, you can also see for Free The Sunken Gardens, and this is for sure another torn for the Monarchy, because we all know how they see the late Diana!

It is a small garden and you can walk around it. But it stills look pretty cool.

And the statue was commissioned by their kids in honour of her 60th if she was Alive.

You have these arches all around the garden with some sits and it is a very relaxed and cool area to just enjoy a quick break from your exploring around.

Or even if you work locally, to just come and have a break of the busy life.

Some Palace Views

Resuming, I would definitely recommend you to visit the area, look at the Palace and learn a little bit more about it's history before you go, so you are aware of the place that you are.

It is pretty and a great place to chill but I personally would not recommend to visit inside. I think you will be wasting money. That is just my personal opinion.

And because when I looked it I thought it would be fun to give you a black & White edition, cause that way you can feel those vintage vibes and get in the mood to travel in time. Because maybe Monarchies is something we should leave it there, in the past.
