While this a gorgeous palace full of colonial era history, I can’t help but feel completely slighted by their “membership”. We were sold the membership to access this palace and others, however they still charge you £28 to enter the property. I’m am exceptionally displeased by this disingenuous sales pitch.

A small compact Palace with a story in each room. Enjoy a visit to the Palace alongside Kew gardens. A day of leisurely strolling around the park, it's magnificent palm houses and Queen Charlotte's garden.

So much to see. A must visit. Variety of gardens to explore. The greenhouses and palm house are a must visit. There is a variety of eateries to choose from. Make sure you spend a whole day there you will still not see everything
