Welcome

The smallest royal palace

Kew Palace is a red-brick royal house of about 1631 within the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, hired through Historic Royal Palaces for small weddings of around thirty to forty guests.

Kew Palace is a red-brick, Dutch-gabled house of the 1630s, tucked among the Royal Botanic Gardens. In the eighteenth century it was a family retreat for George III, Queen Charlotte and their daughters, and that domestic scale still defines it. Historic Royal Palaces cares for the house today.
