My London Adventure!
Part 3:Kensington Palace!
Off we go again! This week we are off to Kensington Palace! This Palace is so beautiful, not just on the outside, but also inside! I'm not into the Royals, but I do love my history, hence the visit!

| Statue of King William the 3rd! The Palace is split into 4 sections for visiting, so we started with The King's Staircase! It's painted so grandly and looks very regal!   We then carried on up the stairs to look around the King's apartments and have a look at the grand rooms that were on this floor. Every room had a different painting on the ceiling!  After visiting this part of the Palace, we headed along to see the Queen's Apartments, which have all be changed since the time of Queen Mary the 2nd as Queen Victoria changed the palace when she resided there! But even so, it's still a lovely looking apartment!    After this section, we visited the Royal Dresses, but I'm leaving that for another day! So after here we visited...... The Victoria and Albert exhibition! Within this exhibition, there was everything on display from Victoria's childhood right through to her older years with Prince Albert. Victoria spent most of her childhood and adult years in this palace.  One room that stood out most to me, was the Nursery! The toys that Victoria's children played with were in glass cases and there were busts of some of the children. The Wall of the Nursery is just so beautiful!   Kensington Palace is definitely worth a visit, the beauty of the architecture and the history behind every piece of furniture is amazing! Also The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry still reside there today! See you in a week's time for my next instalment! Bye! Claire x |
