Kensington Palace and Gardens

We arrived in London on Wednesday morning at 6 am. (However, our bodies felt like 1 am. We kept moving, as all the advice said to best adjust to time changes, get on local time, ASAP.) We headed to Kensington Palace. Purchased by William and Mary in 1689, it was also the birthplace of Queen Victoria and the home of Princess Diana. When she died, these are the gates where people left all the flowers and condolences.


The Palace hosts a special exhibition of some of Princess Diana's dresses.

Afternoon cream tea!
Scone with strawberry jam and clotted cream.


Yum! We were sitting by the Serpentine in Kensington Gardens.
