Historic Royal Palaces

About Historic Royal Palaces

We are the charity who love and look after Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace, Tower of London, the Banqueting House, Kew Palace, and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. The palaces are the setting for the stories that shape us all, and we’re bringing them to people in ways that mean more to them. We want everyone to find themselves in the spaces and stories we share. The palaces are owned by The King on behalf of the nation. As an independent charity, we raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers.
