Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace

Arriving early into London we took the Heathrow Express from the airport to Paddington Station, then a taxi to drop off our bags at our accommodation, Grand Royale Hyde Park (adjacent to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens).
We sourced a great cafe, Les Filles Cafe, followed by a walk through the Kensington Palace and surrounding gardens and parkland.
Kensington Palace, initially built in 1605, then expanded in 1689, had been a royal residence for over 300 years, home to prominent members of Britain's royal family such as Queen Victoria and Princess Diana.Weiterlesen
