Buying guide
Not sure which ticket to choose?
For most visitors in June 2026, a standard entry ticket is the most efficient choice, though those visiting after June 15 should be aware that the Queen's State Apartments will be closed for major renovation. If you plan to see other major London landmarks like the Tower of London, the Go City Explorer Pass offers the best overall value, while the Westminster walking tour combo is ideal for travelers seeking professional historical context before entering the palace.
Standard self-guided visit to the State Apartments and gardens
Provides direct access to the King's State Apartments and the 'Last Princesses of Punjab' exhibition at the standard peak-season rate.
Compare offers ↓Visitors planning to see 3 or more major London attractions

Price
Official adult tickets for June 2026 are priced at £24.00 for off-peak dates and £25.40 for peak dates when purchased without a donation; including the voluntary 10% charitable contribution brings the peak rate to approximately £28.00. Partner prices (approx. £24.70) may reflect older rates or specific allocations; always compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying. Note that eligible UK residents on specific benefits can access £1 tickets, and children under 5 enter free but still require a timed reservation.
Discounts
Children under 5 do not need a ticket under HRP's current ticket guidance. HRP also provides dedicated accessibility information, including carer and companion arrangements; check the official terms and the selected booking flow for any event-specific requirements. Do not assume pass-holder or partner products use the same reservation rules.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a mobile ticket, and do Kensington Palace tickets have a time slot?
Yes. Open the ticket on your smartphone with the QR code visible at the Kensington Palace entrance. Official admission tickets use a selected 30-minute entry window; entry outside that window is not guaranteed, while partner vouchers follow the terms shown by the seller.
Can I cancel or change my Kensington Palace ticket?
Kensington Palace applies a strict no-refund policy. Unused admission tickets bought directly from Kensington Palace may be changed for an amendment fee, subject to availability and exclusions; partner bookings are governed by the seller’s cancellation terms.
Is it better to buy from Kensington Palace or a partner seller?
Buy directly from Kensington Palace when you want the clearest venue terms for amendments, concessions and accessibility arrangements. A partner can suit visitors seeking a bundled tour or hosted experience, but voucher rules, inclusions and cancellation conditions come from that seller.
Are bags checked at Kensington Palace, and can I bring luggage?
All visitors pass through a security scanner at the Palace entrance, and bags may be searched. Suitcases, large bags and rolling luggage are not permitted inside the Palace buildings, and Kensington Palace has no left-luggage or bag-storage facility.
What happens if I arrive late for my Kensington Palace time slot?
You may enter at any point within your selected 30-minute slot. If you miss it, the admissions team will try to place you in the next available slot, but this is not guaranteed because later capacity may be full.
Do children and free or reduced-price visitors need a ticket for Kensington Palace?
Children under five do not need a ticket, while children aged five to fifteen need an admission ticket and must be accompanied by an adult. Benefit-based £1 tickets must be reserved online in advance and collected at the Ticket Office with the required reservation, eligibility documents and identification; an accompanying carer or companion for a disabled visitor can enter free with supporting documents.
Does a timed or skip-the-line ticket bypass the main Kensington Palace queue?
Not completely. Timed entry or skip-the-line wording does not remove the security scanner or possible bag search, so security remains the main entry bottleneck; discounted and other tickets that require collection at the Ticket Office may also involve an additional queue.
