Overview

First, we stroll around Kensington Gardens & learn of its long history with a local guide who is passionate about our Island's traditions & heritage. We will see the beautiful gardens Albert created for Queen Victoria & take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up.

Our final stop is to the beautiful Diana Garden where her statue was unveiled by William & Harry.
