The queen Elizabeth fashion and style exhibition is a must visit if you like fashion and history. The gallery itself is so well maintained and the exhibition itself is very well put. Very clear, not a lot of walking and still with so many items. Beautiful.

We really loved visiting Her Life In Style. We pre booked for 10am and was one of the first ones through the door. The cloths were layed out beautiful and the information boards really explained the dresses. The queens hand written notes about the christening gown regarding all the babies that have worn it. We are planning on going back soon. Location was easy to find down the side of Buckingham Palace. Staff were all very nice to talk to. There is a gift shop with a large selction of gifts. Lavatories were clean.

This an outstanding arrangement of Queen Elizabeth’s wardrobe progression. It heavily discusses the designers - which is generally over my head - but it is appealing to me due to the history presented. Very enjoyable!

We went to see the queens exhibition her life her style. It was really good to see in real life her outfits which we had seen her wearing on TV for certain events. There is a free audio guide and also pictures with description showing you when she wore it. There are also some other possessions you can view.

An excellent gift shop with all kinds of options from sweets to Union Jack items to Christmas ornaments to higher end gifts. We caught a wonderful exhibit of Queen Elizabeth’s life in style. It was stunning in both the items and the scale. Bonus - walk outside and you are already at Buckingham Palace!
