Itinerary
Meet your guide outside Queensway Station
Your guide waits at the iconic red phone box outside Queensway Underground Station. After introductions, you'll walk into Kensington Gardens, the 275-acre royal park where Princess Diana once lived and raised William and Harry.
Stroll through Kensington Gardens' historic pathways
Greenery surrounds you as your guide shares how William and Mary transformed a country villa into a palace in 1689. You'll learn about royal hunts, Victorian society strolls, and the monarchs who shaped these landscapes.
Admire the Italian Gardens and Peter Pan statue
Symmetrical fountains that Prince Albert commissioned for Queen Victoria in 1860 frame the Long Water, where J.M. Barrie's bronze Peter Pan statue stands. Your guide explains the Victorian elegance of the formal gardens and why Barrie secretly installed his statue here in 1912.
Visit Princess Diana's statue in the Sunken Garden
Step into the tranquil Sunken Garden to see the bronze tribute to the People’s Princess. Surrounded by her favorite forget-me-nots and lilies, your guide recounts her years raising her sons at the palace and her global impact as a humanitarian icon.
Savor traditional afternoon tea in Queen Anne's Orangery
Settle into the elegant tea room that Nicholas Hawksmoor designed in 1704 as a royal greenhouse. Finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream, delicate cakes, and fine tea arrive as your guide explains royal tea traditions and etiquette if you wish.
