Historic Royal Palaces

Historic Royal Palaces is an independent charity that manages some of the most iconic royal palaces in the United Kingdom. These palaces are not only significant historical sites but also serve as vibrant cultural venues that attract millions of visitors each year.

Our mission is to conserve and promote these extraordinary buildings, ensuring they remain accessible to the public while preserving their rich heritage. We manage several key sites, including the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace, and the Banqueting House.

Each palace offers a unique glimpse into the lives of British monarchs and the history of the nation. Through engaging exhibitions, educational programs, and special events, we aim to inspire a deeper understanding of our royal history.

We are committed to sustainability and responsible tourism, working to minimize our environmental impact while enhancing visitor experiences. Our dedicated team of historians, conservators, and educators work tirelessly to maintain the integrity of these historic sites.

In addition to our conservation efforts, we actively engage with local communities and schools, fostering a sense of pride and ownership in our shared heritage. We believe that history should be inclusive and accessible to all, and we strive to create welcoming environments for diverse audiences.

As a charity, we rely on the support of our visitors, donors, and partners to continue our vital work. Every ticket purchased and donation made contributes directly to the preservation of these magnificent palaces for future generations.

Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of British history at Historic Royal Palaces, where every visit is an opportunity to connect with the past and experience the grandeur of royal life.
