Kensington Palace Orangery

  • 3/5
  • 2/4

Come summer, this palatial venue really comes into its own. Once Queen Anne’s greenhouse and entertaining pavilion, the high-ceilinged building is pleasantly imposing while its large terrace is a wonderful suntrap. The grand setting certainly helps the packed-in tourists and locals overlook the uninspiring white crockery and over-potent ‘signature’ orange scones. If you’d rather avoid the latter altogether, upgrade from the questionable orange-themed tea (£14.85) to the still affordable chocolate version, Enchanted Palace Tea (£17.95). Or ask to go off-menu and choose a slice from a table piled high with sweet options. No bookings.
Afternoon tea served noon-6pm daily Mar-Sept; noon-5pm daily Oct-Feb; from £14.85 per head.

  1. The Orangery, Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, W8 4PX

Hi Valerie, All,

Both of these places look very good, thanks for looking into it! Not sure if we want to do a museum tour at the same time? Maybe we can say bye to Mizuki in the pub afterwards? ;)

Judging by pictures Kensington palace looks like it's worth a visit. But I am flexible and if the rest will prefer greenwich it's fine too.

Cheers,
Radek
