Kensington Palace
Situated in the heart of West London, Kensington Palace offers a unique selection of rooms for corporate, private and charity receptions and dinners.
The Orangery at Kensington Palace was designed for Queen Anne by Hawksmoor in 1704. Situated in private formal gardens, the Orangery is available for functions throughout the year and offers a haven of peace and tranquillity.
For more intimate functions, the Victorian Garden Rooms are situated on the ground floor of the palace and may be combined with a reception in the Sunken Gardens or Queen’s Gallery.
Functions in both the Orangery and the Victorian Garden Rooms may be combined with a private view of the spectacular State Apartments allowing guests to gain an insight in to the history and intrigue of life at this Royal Palace from 1689 to the 21st century.
