Ever time I visit London, I make it a point to sto in Kensington Palace so view what's on display. This year I came by to see the wardrobe. The display and history behind the lovely gowns was excellent. I really enjoyed everything, including walking through the rest of palace.

The three tours (King's, Queen's and Victoria's childhood apartments) and the "dress code" exhibition are interesting. On the other hand, I didn't like the self-congratulatory tone of the commentary on the audio-guide, which I took in English. The restaurant offer could have been more extensive, but the setting is pleasant and the store fairly well-stocked.

Better than the Buckingham Palace tour. It helps if you watched "Victoria" on PBS. Great self paced audio tour of the palace and gardens. Make sure you go to the sunken gardens by the cafe and see the Princess Diana statue.
