Great Afternoon tea in the garden of Kensington Palace - We were looking for an afternoon tea when we stumbled upon the orangerie and had afternoon tea on the Terrace, although a bit pricey as it is 62$ for the tea but one is enough to share for 2 and the tea can be refilled for free so with the environment you're in it's the perfect afternoon tea to enjoy if you're doing some tourism and want the cute british experience you see on social media !

Fabulous tour guide and tea - Doug was a wonderful tour guide - he has a deep knowledge of the gardens and the palace, is very friendly, and makes sure that you get great pictures from your tour. He was a real joy to hang out with for a morning and I walked away from that tour knowing so much more than I bargained for!

Good Garden tour and Fantastic Tea Service - Our tour of the gardens did a very good job explaining the history of the park and the palace. The tea service at The Orangery was excellent. A beautiful spot with amazing service and yummy tea, just steps away from the palace, on the palace grounds. Definitely a memorable experience for us.
